I have one seed pod on my CO. I hope it will continue to mature and produce viable seeds. Anyone else ever get any seeds?
A friend gave me a 2" baby and its now about 4" in diameter, in a 6" clay campana pot. I put an opened out coathanger loop in the pot for it to twine on, but my friend just let his cascade.
I've had it for about a year and it has never gone fully dormant. (I didn't try to make it rest.) The new shoot emerged before the old growth had withered, but I cut it off when the new one was a couple inches long.
Hi Raydio,
No, I did not get any seed pods on mine. It bloomed in the greenhouse during winter so there were few, if any, pollinators I suppose.
I had a small bulb that fell into a neglected bed last fall, and I did not notice it. This spring it took off growing! I was very surprised that it endured our cold, wet, snowy winter. I plan to leave it again this year and see what happens.
Good luck with yours...I would be interested in knowing if any of the seeds germinate from yours. Just curious.

I gave my Bowiea a month and a half rest, then started watering and it's growing great guns again, indoors now..
I didn't pay attention to the seed pods that had formed, and I don't remember how many seeds were in there. I just sprinkled them around the mother, and haven't seen any signs of germination.
I will do better next summer, I promise. I never had any pods form indoors, so it seems as though they need the bees to help.
