Hibiscus seeds
Now that my hibiscus bonsai has finished blooming its pretty yellow flowers for the year, there are these "pods" left behind, which I assume are seeds. If that's the case, can these be used to propagate? And what would need to be done (let them dry? keep them in the fridge for a while?) before planting the seeds?
I apologize for the poor resolution, but you can kinda see the pods.

Leave the seed pods on until they turn brown. Snip them off and save them in a paper bag until they open and shed all the seed. Detailed hybridisation and sowing instructions are here http://www.trop-hibiscus.com/hibseed.html

Re: Hibiscus seeds
Thanks a bunch for the info.
I guess I should have posted this before I cut all the green pods off.
I guess there's always next year...

Cuttings root easily on those, and are a lot faster than growing from seed.
