Hello,

I was just messing around one afternoon about 6 weeks ago and cut open one of the 'blooms' (correct term?) and found that I had some small green berries in my Borneo Giant. Today I finally picked them, they were an orange/red color.

I followed the instructions I found on aroid.org and aroidiaresearch.org to get the seeds out and plant them. This is my first EE and I was wondering if anyone else had any success in growing the Borneo Giant from seed. The biggest issue I have seen on the forum is related to the freshness. I sowed the seeds about 15 minutes after getting them out of the berry, hopefully freshness won't be a problem!!. I didn't have any of the growing medium mentioned on the website, so I just sowed them in Black Kow. The "mother" plant has done extremely well in it so I figure (hope) the seeds will too.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
