Hello,
This is my first post, and my first time trying to grow anything from seed. I bought some royal poinciana tree seeds off of ebay, and followed the instructions, which said to knick off a tiny bit of the seed, boil for 4 min, then soak seed overnight in water. Then I buried the seeds about 1/2" deep in potting soil, I kept the top of the soil moist and kept it inside.
Today being the impatient gardner decided to undig one of the seeds and to my surprise I found what look like to be maggots on the outside of the seed. So I took it out of the dirt and smushed the seed because it looked dead and out came a whole bunch of white maggot like bugs.
So what did I do wrong?, how did maggots get to my seeds. out of the 4 seeds only one has started to grow.
Any suggestions would help
Thanks
