These seeds were freshly harvested recently and A friend of mine whose computer is not working asked me to pose this question.Does anybody have experience with this species?What would be a tried and true way to go about this?Do the seeds need to dry out before germination will take place or must they be sown right away before they dry out?Does the pulp surrounding the seeds ned to be removed before sowing?Sorry for so many questions, but I have heard and read so many different methods, that it is hard for me to advise my friend properly.John Ludwig_______________________________________________Aroid-L mailing listAroid-L@www.gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________Aroid-L mailing listAroid-L@www.gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --0-488073890-1224524797=:13681----===============0131570253016154851==
