Yes if fertilized. Some plants self, others need a partner, and fertilized by insects or a brush. Norma

Just whait for a month or so! If the polination was seccessful, the ovarz should sweell *(it sometimes even changes it's colour)! That would be a good sign that You'll be able to collect some seeds! ;)

I once did this between 2 diff. plants I had. I used a very small artist's paintbrush to take pollen from one plant & insert it into the flowers of the other.

It resulted in ONE fruit, sometimes called an 'apple'. Looked like a smallish round berry, which over time reddened into ripeness. Mind you, that reddened berry held on to the plant for abt 1 year, at which point I removed it. I broke it open & spread the jelly-like contents, full of seeds onto a paper towel & let it dry out a bit to separate the seeds from the mucilaginous gook around them. I did try to pot them up, but I think the seeds dried out too fast & nothing came of it.

The tricky part to doing this is to have several plants in bloom at the same time. Now I only have one mature plant, so I can't try it again.

If you do try it, you might try doing it several times a day, at diff. times, say both morning & night to improve the odds of success. Good luck w/ it!

I have about 3 seed pods that have been on the plants for about 8 months (since last Christmas when they bloomed) and I am not sure how much longer they should remain on the plants? And how long to dry them out before planting?
Thank you

Plantitas,

Pls. re-read the post directly above yr. question where I addressed EXACTLY the 2 questions you are asking.
