HELP!!! Mandevilla seed pods

Posted by raydizzle 7 (My Page) on

Hey, this is my first post though I've been reading alot and gathering TONS of information. My mother gave me some mandevila seed pods ( 4 to be exact ) and I have no idea what to do with them... they are her elusive unicorn plants as she calls them, so she has no answers either. The information I need is how to start the seeds, any special instructions and how to store the pods untill they are ready for planting.

no pretreatment is required. lightly cover the seed with soil ... soil temp 65-75F takes 15-30 days to germinate.

They are so easy to germinate. Like George said lightly cover them and keep the soil moist. I use a seed mat for bottom heat and my mandevillas usually germinate within 2 weeks. Just plant the dark seed, not the fluffy stuff.

Thank's a-lot I know the seed pods are rare so i wanted to make sure i did it right... even though i could just get a plant. this will be much more satisfying.
