how long till you can plant.......

[Bromeo]

How long does one have to wait to plant their new homegrown seeds? Do they have to dry or anything? Can ya plant them right away?

Let them dry. I like to wait at least 2 or 3 months before germing new seeds

Not sure on that one,but I think they have to be dryed for awhile.Someone else will have to help you on this one.

seeds are viable from day 1....I have had a sprout grow from a seed that ripened and dropped from the mother....
you will get better germination rates if you air dry the seed in a dark place for a few weeks...then store in a bag with a few grains of rice,in the fridge.....for a couple more weeks...

Basically as above. I've used seeds as quickly as 2 weeks from them being taken from the plant, but it's not common practice. I also noticed that the longer they were left to dry the better the germination rate got.

You can also improve germination rate by scareifing the outside of the seeds.
