Cryptocoryne longicauda 'Pudingbesar' Fruit!!!

Post by Aaron »

I was doing some re-potting of my emersed setup this evening. I moved some moss aside at the base of my Cryptocoryne longicauda 'Pudingbesar' and low and behold I found it has a fruit on it. I've also had a bangkanensis 'Dwarf' flowering constantly in that same setup so it could be a hybrid or it could be self pollinated.

Now to harvest the seeds. Any ideas on how to do that?

Nice! Leave it to ripen first - it looks a little young.

How do I know when it's mature? I've heard that it actually opens up.

I like it! Yesd, I would wait until the fruit actually opens up.

Is it growing in spaghnum or do I see a pair of mealy bugs on the fruit?

Cheers.
