About a month back, I pollinated one of the flowers on my plant. I'm at a complete loss, as how to harvest the seed,let alone how to grow. Does anyone have advice on seed pods etc? Thanks soooo much, in advance!

| Allow pod to mature (turn brown & dry....then soak in water for 4 hours then store at 40F for 12 weeks.; then lightly cover the seed soil temp 60-65F & takes 12-18 days to germinate. Takes 7-=11 weeks to be large enough to set out green Ideal growing pH 5.8-6.4 & temp 68F..... |

That's realy interesting.
I never seen anyone do that. :) I've started other poinsettia plants from cuttings though.
Thank you for the picture. |
