Vanilla seed collection

pods are easy to fall off after ripening, resulting in no seeds to be collected. Therefore, pay attention to observation in early August. Pick the seeds in time after ripening. After picking the fruits, dig out the seeds, soak them for about 3 days, wash away the pulp and impurities, remove the seeds, dry them in a cool and ventilated place, and then screen out the peel and other impurities with a sieve. Bag the clean seeds into storage and store them in a cool, ventilated and dry place until the sowing time comes
