| Could any one please tell me the best and easiest way to collect seed from this plant? I read that I need to let them stay on the plant to dry but the flower falls off before then I have brought some in the house to dry, but I just dont seem to be having much luck. Any help would be apprecitiated. I have also taken clippings of this plant to propagate, not much luck there either.
Thanks,
|

| Hi Mary, The flowers are probably not getting pollinated so there is no seed to develop and the flowers just drops off. Try hand pollinating the new flowers that open. A little paint brush works great. I've used one to pollinate key lime blossoms in the winter. Remy |
