when to harvest seedpod?

[Harris Azariel]

u see my Intermedia Cuba is flowering many times but already 3flowers i harvested it with unripe seeds.

and somesay that seedpod are ready to harvest twhen the seedpod turn black.

and now most of the seedpods now have black stripe on each pod(not whole pod is black)

so is it ready to be harvested or should i w8 till the whole pod turn 100%black?

wait it until you see the seeds "naked"....

today i harvested a stalk of dro spathulata, few flowers on bottom part are ready but seeds inside few flowers on the top are still "green"

Allen- what do u mean "Naked"?

hey if i harvested a seedpod contain unripe seed inside,can it get ripe if i keep it in a container or will it just be unripe?

[allenphoon]

it means that you will actually see the seeds on the seed pods, you will have some falling down when pressing on them
if you harvest unripe seeds pods, keep them in a close container and cross your fingers so tht it will turn black!!

Guys, Question! when the pods are all turning black and you can see the seeds already. How do we harvest the seed pods? Do we cut the entire steam of the flower or just pick each seed pods at a time especially D.Spatulata?

If can, just pick each seed pods at a time, to avoid seeds accidently release/fly away.

Unless you dont mind to lost some seeds, then, you cut the entire steam of the flower after few/all seed pods are matured.

I cut the entire steam of the flower, instead seed pod. (When I started into CP, pick each seed pods at a time )
