I would say yes. Where do you have it and why do you want to plug it?
But wait and see what the pro's tell you. I have not had a ripened seedpod yet.

I would wait until the pod is soft and the stem turns more brownish (sort of more wood-like) That way you will know that the seeds are mature. If you pick them while they are too young the seeds can be small white and immature.

I am dealing with that since it froze down into the low 20's and having to mass plant immature seeds! Its not fun and they don't germinate as well as mature seeds and you can't store them.

I must be getting there because the stem has started to
turn slightly brownish....don't want to lose thee seeds,
so, I'll just wait a while.

Lucy, I just wanted to pull the darn thing and get to
those seeds!

LOL.. Margaret.. I have been watching this dang pod on my P&C for months now..Put your hands in your pockets and leave that baby be... ;o)

I have a seed pod on my noid. The plant is in the garage. It is really too big to bring in the house or I probably would. I have been worrying about this pod because my garage is not heated but I have it in the warmest part under a shop light. The pod has been on the plant since about October, I don't think it will ever get ripe!!!

Mary

Don't pull it until the pod gets mushy. The seeds won't go bad from being left on the plant after they are ripe but they won't be viable if the pod is removed too soon.

Mary I think the average pod takes about 6 months to ripen. I only have one variety (Butterfly) whose pods ripen in less time.

so hopefully by the time I put them back out the pod will be ripe. My poor little NOID, I don't even know who the baby daddy is!!!

Mary

SSHHH!!! We won't tell!!!!
LC.. love child!!!

I have plenty of bast*rd pods too. lol

I have been pod watching myself. One little small white flowered noid that loves my hot sun had about 30 pods. 20 now picked and all the seeds are like pin head small. I hope they are viable.

LOL I have been feeling pods for months. Now they just get to dry on the plant.

Jim they sound like they might be too small to be viable but you won't lose anything by planting them to see if they sprout. One of my Day Dreams pods stems shriveled and dried out for some reason. I didn't think the pod was ripe. I let it sit out for a while and just opened it this evening. There were only about 9 mature dark seeds and the rest (about 100) were tiny, white and very soft. It was almost like a defective ear of corn where only a few of the kernels get plump.

You'll are a trip, I know how you feel though
I have 2 pods on Miss Anna I've been watching
for months, I have never harvast a pod yet
these will be my first! I noticed today one
of the stems is turning yellow does that
mean it's getting ripe? I hope so, poor babies
don't know their daddy either! LOl!

Susan, looks like your pods have a ways to go...nice pods.
Margaret

If the stem is yellowing it either means it's wilting prematurely or it's ripening. Resist the urge to pull it off. Wait until the pod is soft and it should come off with very little effort.
