QuestionThis summer my white blooming jasmine produced long slender clusters of seed pods. This week the pods dried and started to open. When I harvested, the seeds were attached to what looks like feathers - they look very much like a fishing fly. I tell you this because I am unsure of the Jasmine variety and thought this might help. Can you advise on germination procedures.
AnswerHi Paula,
Thanx for your question. If this plant is Stephanotis floribunda sow the seeds on top of damp (not soggy) potting soil and lightly cover them with milled sphagnum moss. Do no completely cover. Some light is necessary for germination. The temperature must be maintained between 70-80 F. Germination takes 1-3 months. Place the pot inside a plastic baggie to maintain humidity. I hope this helps.
