namchabarwensis seed pod

16 years ago

does anyone know when to take the namchabarwensis seed pod off the plant. I should do it before it goes springs open on its own and the seeds get lost. As of now the pods are green. Maybe a person could wrap some cloth around each pod? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Yes that is the best way. The seed is ripe with the pods explode at the slightest touch. When you wrap it they are much easier to collect.

Thanks, mrimpatiens, that is what I kind of figured. Will let pods start to turn color from green and then put on little catching clothes.

Don't wait to long... they rippen pretty fast. I missed a few before I got a square of tissue over them and had one explode while I was trying to tie it on:)
Great fun isn't it!
