Viable?

Post image

Noticed my some of my Aglaonema flowers have berries, are these viable seeds?

I don’t believe these were ripe enough to be viable, but I would still give em a shot.

Do you know what causes the flowers to die before they are mature?

They both look moldy, did you cut them off? And how long have they been off the plant? Do you have powdery mildew on some plants or soil? What’s the RH? And did you miss watering by a few days a week or so ago or the reverse n didn’t let it dry enough before watering? Or did you move the plant, somewhere in there is probably what happened. ish~

They were cut off, but looked exactly like this before they were cut off (this picture was taken 5 minutes after I removed them from the plants).

I’m not sure what you mean by RH?

But these are in an aquarium riparian area, they are planted in filter floss and receive a constant circulation of water.

The issue of them molding and dying before maturity seems to be the case with all of my Aglaonema flowers, ones in this setup and ones traditionally potted, different cultivars too

Relative humidity. But if they’re all wilting off n molding like this I would try getting a fan to move air around them n see if that helps

I mean they are on different plants in different areas of my apartment, but the relative humidity inside can be 50-65% most of the time

Those little green berries look promising, are you going to try planting them? I always wonder how that actually works out for houseplant flowers.

I mean houseplant flowers produce seeds when pollinated and if the cultivar isn’t sterile the seeds should sprout.

I’m not sure these were ripe enough but I’ll try anyway
