There are many hibiscus enthusiasts out there today developing new breeds of hibiscus, as well as improving the seeds of the existing species of hibiscus. Their goal is to develop new varieties of flowers with different colors, and make hibiscus plants which are more resilient to the harmful elements which could cause it to die or produce inferior flowers.
Steps to Good Seeds:
Orchids
The most important part to producing a good hibiscus seed is to have a good supply of fresh pollen. They should also be kept in the ideal conditions of sixty to eighty degrees Fahrenheit and high humidity. Remember that these plants are tropical plants. After the flowers have been pollinated it is important to place a label around the stem of the plant. This is because the pollen must stay on the plant in order for it to produce seed pods.
After a few days, if your pollination is successful, the seed pods will begin to mature and the flower will begin to fall off leaving behind only the stem and the base of the flower. Depending on the conditions, the pods will fully mature within 6 to 14 days. You should pay close attention to these pods due to the fact that once they mature they will begin to turn brown and open up. If you let it open without supervision the seeds will fall off and be lost. The number of seeds in each pod can range between 0 to 60 seeds. Usually they will contain between ten to twenty seeds inside.
When storing the seeds you should make sure that the containers do not have any moisture inside them. If moisture gets inside the container in which you store the seeds in, fungi can begin to grow inside them. These seeds will then be ready to be planted and make beautiful flowers.
