About Faucaria

Post by mmcavall »

Are Faucarias self-fertile?

and

How long takes to the seeds mature?

Do I have to wait the seed pod open by itself to harvest the seeds?

thanks

The pods are ripe when they open up themselves when wet. So you have to do the spraying of water to see if they are ready.
