Holiday Cactus Seeds

socks
16 years ago

My Holiday Cactus has 3 deep red seed pods on it with the scraggly, dead flower hanging from the end.

How will I know when these are ripe? I believe it bloomed in November or December.

Would I just stick them in soil, or is there a special process like letting them dry first?

Thanks.
