Nice! looking forward to start with my p. viridis. One question the seeds should germinate indoor or outside is an option?

Hey Roze, welcome to the forum , well, this things has already discussed many times here, and here is the link to the useful thread for you to read,

It's depends on your seeds viability, if you got it in fresh berries, those seeds would germinate in both place, indoor or outdoor, but if you got it not fresh, you'll end up several months waiting with no result.

That isnt entirely accurate old needs do germinate. And according to a guy i know he says viridis produce seeds not berries, alba produce berries. I may be mistaken thou.

Really? from what i know, it does actually produce berries, and each berries should contain 1-3 seeds.

Psychotria viridis does produce berries, with seeds inside.

And the question i have now. Have you eaten one?

How is this relevant?

Then just delete the post if it offends you so much.

I just made a simple question, I expected you to simply answer it. I don't see how whether onion ate one seed or not is relevant for the propagation thread. But thank you for your reply.

Some of the berries on my plants have started to ripen. When I study the pic onion posted w/ the red berries and seed, it appears fresh. How do I go about harvesting viable seed from the ripe berries? Is it as simple as mashing the berry, removing the seeds and letting them dry, or should I be letting the ripened berries dry before removing the seeds from them?

I imagine it would be easier to do when they are wet after a water soak like how they do with coffee beans. If its dry it would be harder to cut into without damaging the seed inside.

[happyconcacti]

They're soft, squishy berries. The seeds are very easy to remove. The berries do stain your fingers and clothes but will wash off with a good amount of soap and hot water.

Would it be possible to move reply #90- #103 to the P. Viridis seed germination thread?

On another note, a member send me a few leaves still attached to about 1.5 inches (3.8cm) of stem. I put this cutting in a cup of water inside a propagation chamber at ~83°F (28°C) and near 100% humidity. The chamber was opened at least twice a day for air exchange.

The cutting showed root formation far before any of the leaves. It developed a good mass of roots within a month and now its planted in 1:0.75:1  of cacti potting soil : vermiculite : perlite. Its already putting out new leaves.

If you can get a cutting with some stem still attached, it seems to be even easier to propagate than leaves.
