There isn't much information on these seeds. I thought I'd give a post a try. My aunts have a big shrub that seeds each year. I would get seeds from her and try to plant them. I don't know a fool proof method nor find one online.
Some say you need fresh seeds some say let them dry. What is best? I am not sure. What to do with them, not a clue.
What I've done so far was just stick the seeds in my camellia big 5gallon pot and cross fingers they sprout. Then I just repot then.
I will get seeds again from my aunts shrub again in august or so and try again. I started last year and the year before that. These plants are very slow growing.
The first year each plant had roughly 5-7 leaves. Right now with new leaves and those old 5-7 leaves fall off, it has another 4-5 leaves right now.
I need a lot of patients for this plant. Oddly my aunt can't seem to germinate the seeds that well. She was able to now have 3 plants that flowered but she gave up on trying to germinate. She just sprinkles the seeds around in her garden. She would dig them up and pot them but most times they don't survive.
This is a tricky plant that I haven't figured out yet.
Any tips or advice would be great on how to germinate these seeds. Thanks in advance.
