I have seed pods and babies

14 years ago

My "sported" AVs have decided to form seed pods. If I keep the seed pods, what do you think the new generation would look like?

I haven't started leaf for some time because of space constraint. But a friend had asked for some plants so I put down three leaves about a month ago and now here's what I've got. Feel excited again seeing all these "mouse ears"!

Thanks for sharing my excitement.

I get excited seeing your mouseears, lol, let alone mine!

I haven't a CLUE what the seedpods would produce. I am sure someone else will know.

Xuan,
The seed pods can be either good news or bad. Sometimes when pods are formed by self polination it is with the help of thrips. Hopefully that is not the case with yours. Keep and eye on the plant to make sure that it isn't infested with thirps.
