I have several stalks of gardenii that were removed from my newly imported plants for one reason or another. Now, the stem keeps rotting and the seeds are falling off one by one when I handle it. I have replaced the stems in new water with a few drops of clorox to prevent any more rotting (but the stems are now only lees than 2"). What would be the best way to sow the seeds that have already fallen? I set a few of them aside for a week or so and they have darkened in color but are still very firm. Should I attempt surgery to remove the green covering or sow them as is? I would like to keep as many as possible for future genrations. Thanks in advance for all your advise. ===== John Ingram in L.A., CA.
