@Nightlily I understand once black they are viable. Do you check the color of the seeds outside while on the scape? If so, how do you do that? Slightly crack it or cut a little piece of the pod away?
Then for the big question.... Have you ever brought indoors scapes with brown or whiter seeds and placed those in water/ fertilizer and eventually gotten black seeds?
What is the procedure for those with lates or shorter growing seasons?
Sometimes I have a brown pod, black seeds, but the seeds have not detached from the pod. I let those dry longer in the house to release. Maybe I am drying them too long.
May today find you healthy and happy!
