Nice. Plan them on their side half-buried (so they look like white eyes in the dirt) and keep them lightly moist. The deeper and larger the pot, the better - I grow mine in 5x5x7 pots, several seeds in each. -|<ipp > From: k.preteroti@verizon.net > Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 09:25:19 -0400 > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > Subject: Re: [pbs] Haemanthus deformis seeds > > Kipp I or rather my son harvested the seed bulbs.

I asked if this species is self fertile or requires a buddy. The consensus was a buddy was needed. Alas I had only one plant. Tim Eck came to the rescue and mailed me pollen. I did my best bee imitation and produced three green firm berries about the size of a peanut M&M. Now my green M&Ms are orange to a red orange and are getting soft.
