Kudu lily / Frequency Asked Questions
To plant Kudu lily seeds, also known as Pachypodium saundersii, you first need to soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. This process, known as scarification, helps to soften the seed coat and promote germination.
After soaking, plant the seeds in a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, and cover them lightly with soil. Place the pot in a warm, bright location, but out of direct sunlight.
Water the soil thoroughly and keep it slightly moist until the seeds germinate, which usually takes about 2-3 weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots.
Remember, Pachypodium saundersii is a succulent plant native to South Africa, and it prefers a dry, sunny environment. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out between waterings.
