    I have cyclamen in my winter baskets and have two very swollen seed pods forming on one plant. I'm quite new to growing from seed and wondered whether there are any special requirements for growing these? Can I just sow the fresh seed in my greenhouse, or do I need to dry it first? Any help most appreciated! [​IMG]

    When the seed pod splits is the time to sow. Do not dry the seeds out as they germinate better when fresh. I presume they are C. persicum, so a little warmth will help, though they do not need a lot.
