NOTE:
The above mentioned time intervals refer to the plant carrying the seed capsules; usually the pollen parent does not influence the time interval. Example:
Unfortunately, the time required for complex intergeneric hybrids is only established after the capsule splits. One can safeguard against splitting by making 2 or more seed capsules of the same cross and immediately after the first one splits, the remaining capsules are harvested.
In most cases, the longer a seed capsule is allowed to remain on the plant, without danger of loosing the plant or the seed capsule, the better the results obtained. |
