American pitcher plants, as well as some other cp's require a cold stratification period for the seeds to germinate. That is one method. I have a simple approach. I just fill a plastic cup with soil media and overfill with rain water. Then I add the seeds and place at a window in the cold attic. I just make sure they don't dry out.... and wait. I figure that this appraxinates a cold mud environment and when it warms up and has an increased photoperiod, they will germinate. That's this year's approach. Last year I tried putting the seeds in baggies with water, in a bucket of cold water, in the attic, for the winter. That worked.

agreed i've tried the baggy method with a bit of chopped spagnum moss with my seeds haven't sprouted yet thou:( eight weeks might not be nessarsary i had heard that 4 weeks stratification was long enough could be wrong thou i'd say still stratify for the full 8 weeks as this will give you a better chance of success
