Q.Growing A Cala/Arum Lily From Seed

Zone South Africa | Estelle van Rooyen added on December 10, 2020 | Answered

Thank you for the article on propagating cala lilies. We are moving and I cannot take plants with me, so I want to take seeds with to establish the new garden. In the article you say that the said must be dry before I remove them from the plant. My questions is: When is that? Does it mean they must dry out/be hard/brown? Or can I harvest them when they are yellow? Must I remove the seeds from the fruit or plant the fruit as is?

You will want the seeds to be dry, thoroughly, before removing them from the plant. This will mean that they are mature and viable. I would plant one seed from the fruit in each container, only. Two, at the most. You will end up killing one off later.

Just in case this is a different article from what you have read, I will include this one:
