Product Description

The seeds of Pitcairnia squarrosa are small, elongated, and typically dark brown to black. Their surface is often slightly wrinkled or textured, aiding in moisture absorption. These lightweight seeds may have a delicate, papery wing, a common trait in the Pitcairnia genus, facilitating wind dispersal. Their compact size and streamlined shape allow for easy handling, while their resilient outer coating helps protect the developing embryo, ensuring successful germination in the right conditions.
