I accidentally dropped maybe ~100 drosera seeds. Since they were maybe 5 years old, I figured only a few would germinate. Now that it looks like most are sprouting, what do I do? These babies are too close together, but I think I'd squish them to death if I try to separate them with tweezers… Advice?

This happened to me once and oops now it’s happening a second time! 🙂 I’d wait until they’re a bit bigger and then focus on the densest growth areas first, using tweezers to distribute evenly into less dense areas. If possible, instead of tweezing the plant itself, try and get to the base and pick up the substrate in which the plant is rooting. Less risk of harming the plant tissue that way and I found it very successful. Although, I can’t tell what size container that is. Use your best judgment.. how many full size drosera will you want to grow in there? You may want to consider prepping another container (or many more!) because I think no matter how evenly they get spread out, that’s probably too many plants in one container?
