Poinsettia seed progress!! Only my peachy poinsettia bloomed (apparently my variegated one had already bloomed when I got it, cuz the flowers just fell off when I touched them, back when I was pollinating the peach one)…. Anyway, January 1 was the first time I noticed that the seed pods started forming! And already just over a week later (today, January 9), they have so much definition! Gonna be exciting to see them form, and if they grow after I harvest them! It was SUCH a sticky process - the poinsettia yellow flowers (not the pink bracts) have a natural hole under them that weeps a clear sticky sap…. I thought just clearing the fallen leaves was sticky, but pollinating?? It’s like dipping my fingertips into honey and then into shredded broccoli florets. Such a mess lmao. Once the seed pods have fully formed and I’ve harvested them, I’ll repot the poinsettias into the nice big pots I already have set up. I just LOVE how bushy and full these plants are, hopefully I can keep them this way! #poinsettia #poinsettiaseeds #poinsettiapropagation #seedpods #euphorbiaceae #plant #plants #plantprogress #progress #indoorgardening #indoorplants #pink https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiGWPqLtkH/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
