[@ljiljanagrujic275]

Super sistem za klijanje semena , bravo 👏👍❤🌹🇲🇪🎈🙌

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hvala uvijek :)

[@Fhornergal]

How long until they can be placed outside?

[@gianerajohn436]

I have loads of new caesalpinias and they are having tens of pods.. do I leave the plants them on to dry and harvest the seeds when they are brown or what?

[@beautifulnature4826]

Wow beautiful plant 👍👍😍

[@AdelaBespejo]

Thanks for appreciating it :)

Nice, did you do a pre-treatment to the seeds, like soaking in water of nicking with a file? 8 days ago I nicked the seeds and let them soak in water for +- 8 hours. Then placed them on a wet tissue. Day 6 the first seeds germinated and day 7 I planted them in individual containers. Now day 8 they're emerging from the soil. I used seeds I collected from a beautiful Pink Bird of Paradise

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hi Robin, thanks for sharing your useful procedure. In this video, I didn't do pre-treatment. I just directly placed the seeds on the tissue paper and pour a little water. :)

@@AdelaBespejo Hi Adela, thank you for your answer. Great video btw!

[@sammyat56]

Robin, any particular reason you nicked and pre-soaked the seeds? How the seedlings doing? I just ordered some seeds and want to plant them.

[@abstract200]

@@sammyat56 Itried it once before without nicking and soaking the seeds and it didnt work. Thats why this time i chose this method. The seedlings doing just fine ;)

[@sammyat56]

Thank you Robin. I didn't know that they came in pink- I'm going to search the web for pink seeds. I just received the yellow seeds this morning and going to follow your method and see what happens.

Thanks Deepesh for appreciating :)

[@TheHalusis]

when do you know the seeds are ready to pull off of bush?

[@jakenikolao4365]

Hi, where did you place the seeds? I’ve known that some seeds need dark and some need to be in a well lit area.

[@sandrajones7034]

Beautiful pots✔️✳️

[@AdelaBespejo]

Thank you Sandra :)

[@sammyat56]

Thank you for the video. How the plants doing? I noticed you buried more than the actual root, and after you watered them they were not straight is this ok?

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hi Raymos, yes they will straighten after the roots attached to the soil They are growing well now, i hope I can upload an update video :)

[@sammyat56]

thank you Adela, looking forward to your other videos

[@dianahenry3130]

Thank you for showing the process but I need help knowing when to take the pod off the mother plant. I have abiut 20 pods on my rescue Mexican Bird Of Paradise and do not know how and when to pick them and how to know when they are ready. Can you advise? Thank you!

[@parsonsmark]

Wrap the pod with a little bag. When it explodes you'll capture the seeds!

How many years to get flowers from Seeds?

Linda mudinha 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@AdelaBespejo]

Obrigado Rodolfo :)

[@Sammybizness]

Nice thanks

[@litildevil75]

Once my seedlings get this tall and grow even a third set of leaves, for some reason they just die. The leaves shrivel up and fall off. What am I supposed to be doing?

[@River-zo6ve]

Maybe you need to add fertilizer? Seeds provide enough to get a seedling started, but they need nutrients from their environment to become established.

[@angel.heart007]

Did you get these seeds directly from the tree?

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hi, yes you are right, I got it directly from the tree :)

[@OfftoShambala]

Adela B is love to see a video of how to take the seeds... do they need to dry first?

[@River-zo6ve]

@@OfftoShambala The pods develop, then dry out, and then the two halves curl apart to shatter. That's when you want to collect the seeds!

[@AdelaBespejo]

Thank you Mirella :)

[@AK-cm2ds]

What name is tree...?

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hi, the name of the tree is Red Bird of Paradise :)

[@NafisaNursery]

Berapa lama ya bisa keluar bunga cantiknya?

[@AdelaBespejo]

Hi Nafisa, based on my research, it will take up to 7 years for the flowers to bloom :)

[@NafisaNursery]

Realy? I think it is to fast

[@AdelaBespejo]

Thanks for the correction, it may take up to 7 years or longer

[@River-zo6ve]

Wow, seven years?! These are all over my neighborhood, it's wild that they're all that old!

[@baldieman64]

I don't know what they are, but I do know that those are not bird of paradise seedlings.

[@amberisafarmer]

They are yellow bird of paradise. Mine look exactly like that now.

[@WillfullyBlind]

Yep definitely Mexican Bird of Paradise seeds.

[@NoOneHere2Day]

Can these kill me cat?

[@AdelaBespejo]

Based on my research, yes, it can be poisonous to pets when ingested :)
