Germinating More Ant Plant Seeds

The Myrmecodia beccarii had seven or eight seed pods just hanging out.  I went ahead and plucked them all and brought them into the kitchen to clean them up.



Since I was inside the house, I figured I should try to germinate these under slightly different conditions than the others I've germinated earlier - these are going upstairs into the Master bathroom window sill.  Each pod had four seeds (except two - one had 2 and the other 3).  That's a lot of seeds...  These take a while to get going - two weeks has been my experience.


I ended up doing the same thing with three berries from the Hydnophytum formicarum.


These Hydnophytum seeds germinate quick - two days and the plant has pushed out.
