Monkey tail seeds

9 years ago

Hi folks, I couldn't find a monkey tail cactus so I've bought seeds from Amazon (hildewintera colademononis) which I have received from Hong kong. The seeds are black and the size of dust specks but I've read on Google that these seeds are a black curved shape, which these are not. Has any one seen the seed from this plant so I can have an idea if I have the right thing or not
Once again, many thanks

Having seen other Cleisto seeds, yours sound not right, Averil. What you have sounds more like seeds of the Crassulaceae.

Hi cactus, thanks for your your response. I've been googling around trying to find a pic of monkey tail seeds but there's nothing. I shall sow them and see what happens, though I'm suspicious they're not right. I shall be gutted but hey ho, onwards and upwards eh? Lol
