My Leo Alba seeds are progressing nicely with new leaves forming regularly, a couple of the largest leaves look like miniture versions of the mature plant leaves.
I'm really pleased with this new batch of plants as they were seeds I harvested myself and I had no idea if I had done it correctly or if they would successfully germinate.
I would definitely recommend giving it a go. I used berries at the end of the season and left the on the plant longer so they were really ripe and a little squishy. I then gently mashed them in water to free up most of the seeds and then sieved then out through kitchen roll. I then scraped the seeds onto a plate and left them in the sun on the windowsill to dry out. I placed them in a little pot, sealed with clingfilm and chucked them in the cupboard for the winter.
I am sure there was a more scientific way of doing it but it seems to have worked for me!
