On March 2nd I sowed some seeds on a wet paper towel in a petri dish that sat in the windowsill. On March 29th some of the seeds seemed to have germinated (see first photo — can you spot the tiny roots?) and the germinated seeds were transferred to small pots that were kept in a “greenhouse” made from a plastic bag to avoid dehydration. The second photo was taken today (April 20th) and shows a couple of seedlings that have developed their first leaf. Match for scale. This is a project that has called for patience: The period from pollination to seeds took 4-5 months. Then it took roughly 1 month for the seeds to germinate, and 3 weeks later the seedlings have just a tiny leaf each. Things can still go wrong, but I'm pretty confident that I will end up having several mature peace lilly plants grown from seeds. Meanwhile, I have cross-pollinated two peace lily plants. One was the plant I've had for 10+ years. The other was a “miniature” plant I bought last summer, that was meant to sit on the very narrow windowsill in my bathroom. I was naive enough to hope that some gardener had developed a miniature cultivar of the peace lily, but I was fooled: the plant was just a baby plant of something that has now grown into a mature peace lily plant. Latipac be damned! Now I hope that the two plants are unrelated, and not just perpetuated clones, so that the cross-pollination introduces some genetic variability. Perhaps I am wiser at the end of 2024. I wish y'all a peace(lily)ful weekend. 🕊️ Peace now! 🇵🇸 السلام الآن 🇮🇱 שלום עכשיו <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/araceae" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Araceae</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/bloomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/florespondence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#florespondence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/patienceisavirtue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patienceIsAVirtue</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/peacelily" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeaceLily</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/spathiphyllum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spathiphyllum</a>

Klaus Alexander Seiﬆrup<a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@houseplants</a> <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/plants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@plants</a> I have a confession: Months ago I tried to persuade y'all that no Danish nocturnal insects takes interest in the flowers of Hoya linearis. I lied. The plant has been hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom all winter. Today I took it down to offer it some water, and now there are downy seeds all over my bedroom (I guess I should be grateful that I'm single). To conclude: Some of the flowers must have been pollinated while the plant was hanging in the garden last summer. The seedpods must have looked somewhat like the leaves of the plant, and in retrospect I have been a little worried since some of the “leaves” looked yellowish, but since it was just here and there and didn't seem to affect the whole plant, I wasn't too worried. Turns out the yellow “leaves” were actually seedpods that have now burts open and revealed lots and lots of seeds — each attached to something that looks like eiderdown. They fly at even the faintest breeze. This is gonna be fun… People who know me also know that now I have to try and sow those seeds to see if I can grow new plants from seeds. Did my mom and dad fsck in a greenhouse, that early summerday back then? 🤔 <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/apocynacea" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apocynacea</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/bloomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/hoya" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hoya</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a>

Klaus Alexander SeiﬆrupHello <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@houseplants</a> and <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/plants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@plants</a> 👋 Are you ready, guys? Now this adventure is getting really exciting: More than three months ago I hand-pollinated some still closed spadices of peace lily (Spathiphyllum) — see parent post. For a couple of weeks, one of the swollen spadices had become increasingly brown, and today I was sure there was no longer any connection to the stem or the mother plant, so I cut it off and broke it up on a lunch plate. (The three remaining spadices are still green.) We have seeds!! 🤸 There may still be a long way to germination and plants, but undeniably having actual seeds feels like a huge progress. The pollination code has finally been broken! Yay! 😸 <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/araceae" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Araceae</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/bloomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/florespondence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#florespondence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/patienceisavirtue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patienceIsAVirtue</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/peacelily" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#peaceLily</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/spathiphyllum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spathiphyllum</a>

Klaus Alexander Seiﬆrup<a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/plants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@plants</a> Preliminary results: In the past six months I have attempted to pollinate each flower on my Spathiphyllum, with nothing to show for it: while the spadix does grow initially, the spathe will eventually wither and there are no seeds to be found inside the spadix (see the first photo). So what if I pollinate the spadix before the spadix has opened? This looks much more promising: the spadix grows much larger (see the second photo). I have pollinated lots of open inflorescences with no results other than some initial growth, but no seeds. I have pollinated three closed spadices, and all three have grown to a volume that is currently at least twice the volume of any open-pollinated spadix. The proof is in the pudding, they say, so it's a bit early to conclude anything, but so far it looks like a promising pattern. Am I really the only person on the entire fediverse who has attempted seed propagation of their peace lily? /cc <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@houseplants</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/araceae" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Araceae</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/bloomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/florespondence" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#florespondence</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/spathiphyllum" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spathiphyllum</a>

Klaus Alexander SeiﬆrupHow can I pollinate this <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/maranta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maranta</a> leuconeura? Will it produce viable seeds? What do the seeds look like? Have any of you guys tried this? /cc [ <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@houseplants</a> | <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/houseplants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#houseplants</a> | <a class="u-url mention" href="https://a.gup.pe/u/plants" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@plants</a> | <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/seedpropagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seedPropagation</a> | <a class="hashtag" href="https://magnetic-ink.dk/tag/propagation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propagation</a> ]
