Traded Royal Poinciana seeds with Red Barrel Cactus seeds, with Rebecca. Thanks. I bought plumeria seeds online. I still have plenty cactus seeds to trade with adenium seeds. Thanks. meli

Hi I have some fresh canna seeds from my backyard, the flower is red/orange and they get very tall like 10 feet. They can be raised smaller in a pot. Very hardy the bulbs survive with no damage here in zone 7. I am after some cactus seeds, any will do but I would prefer something easy to sow as I am a rookie. Thanks a lot Patrick

Wait until they are red and practically fall off. Many months. Others here can give more detailed info. Also there are some helpful YouTube videos.

I grew seedlings from a pod of mine a couple years ago. They took a long time (many months) to ripen......they turned red and softer like a ripe berry. I squeezed the small black seeds out and let them dry on a paper towel a couple days, then planted them on the surface of lightly moist, sterile soil and kept the whole pot/soil in a ziplock bag under fluorescent lights. They germinated and grew well. After a few months, when they started to look like little versions of the adult plants, I gradually opened the bag more and more to get them used to normal conditions. A lot of fun and interesting to eventually see the color flowers the offspring produce.
