Biophytum Ecuador

The flower of a recently imported plant, and below, two weeks later the seeds are visible. There were approximately 14 seeds present in this flower. It is best to harvest seeds immediately when you see them (same day) because they drop very quickly once the pod bursts and are difficult to find. ย Alternatively, you can allow them to drop and grow at the base of the mother plant, but this usually results in fewer seedlings as there is competition for light, nutrients, etc. It is additionally easier to plant seeds rather than repot seedlings, as their root structures are delicate and they don’t always take well to being moved.
