This is a first (for me) - seed pods
I've been growing Ceropegia woodii for many years now but for the first time it has seed pods developing.........
No more special treatment than any other year, it just gets tied to the fence post in shade. It's a happy plant..........

They are follicles, that's interesting as I have never had them on my plant & hadn't realised they produced them.
Can you do abetter shot please.

Re: This is a first (for me) - seed pods
Congratulations, they are neat looking.
I wonder how much seed you will get, I lost my main plant but luckily there was a small tuber so I have restarted it, they are interesting plants to grow.

Re: This is a first (for me) - seed pods
Are you going to plant the seeds? I had been thinking about trying to pollinate our plants but maybe I should try moving them outside.

Re: This is a first (for me) - seed pods
With the hot weather it's been a good time to put plants outside for the bugs to do their stuff, I have had a follicle on my pachypodium brevicaule this year, which is a first.
Also a few others have produced pods for a first time.

Re: This is a first (for me) - seed pods
I had a couple of follicles on my Ceropegia woodii a few years ago, the seedlings were quite variable in leaf pattern, and very nice. I now have a nice mixed potful of flowering size plants. I've never had it fruit again however!

Re: This is a first (for me) - seed pods
Expect one seed per seed pod. So it does not provide heavily on seeds. Assuming you were refering to the Ledebouria / Scilla.
I am sure the follicle of the Ceropegia will provide dozens of seeds each, as other stapeliads do.
