Anturium seeds?
#5
We've germinated a number of anthurium seeds. When the "knobs" on the spathe push out and you can start to see the seed inside, push them out by hand (or they will fall off on to the ground), collect them and put them in a bowl of water. Gently rub off the jelly around the seeds. When you have cleaned all of them pour off the water and glop. Pour the seeds on top of a prepared container of moist potting mix. Don't bury the seeds, leave them exposed to light on the top of the mix. Keep the surface and seeds moist in a shady place. They do take a month or more to germinate and they are slow growing but that's the fun of gardening. Always something to look forward to.
