Philodendron selloum Seeds: Where to Find Them on the Bloom

Pam's Philodendron selloum bloomed for the first time. Seeds develop on the inflorescence (the bloom spike) after the spathe and spadix fade.

Seed Collection

Allow the bloom to dry completely on the plant.
Seeds are tiny and embedded in the fleshy spadix.
Germination is slow and erratic; most growers propagate by division or tissue culture.

For a faster second plant, divide the base or root a stem cutting. Seed is a patience project.
