supasi Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 And then send me some seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 They should germinate in the same tank if you don't suck them all up with the poo vac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 How long from pollination to viable seeds ? And what is the best method of harvesting the seeds so I can plant them in another tank. I have read that covering the pod with a stocking to contain the seeds works well. Any ideas ?

alanmin4304 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just let mine germinate in the same tank so not sure. Some of the aquatic plants have seeds that can't be dried out like your garden peas so I would transplant them as soon as the seeds fall off. A rich media and good light would be a start.

kiwiplymouth Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Mine is going nuts Its putting up new leaves every few days and the larger leaves are now 600-700mm. The fourth flower spike has just appeared and the first flower pod would now be about the size of my thumb nail. How long did it take your first flower pod to be mature?
