Historical Distribution

Uses and Culture

USES

PROPAGATION/CULTIVATION

  • The fruit of Nothocestrum latifolium is a small, round, berry less than 1/4 inch in diameter. The color is yellowish orange.
  • Stratton recommends that the seeds of Nothocestrum latifolium be cleaned by rubbing them between your hands, or through a screen or colander. No pretreatment is required. Use a well drained planting medium such as a mixture of 3 parts #2 perlite to 1 part Sunshine Mix #3 or a mixture of 4 parts cinder to 1 part soil. Sprinkle the small seeds on the surface of moistened medium in a shallow container. Keep the medium moist and shaded until the seeds germinate. Germination takes 8 to 16 weeks; the seedlings are slow growing.
  • For the related species, Nothocestrum breviflorum, Culliney and Koebele recommend putting the seeds in a solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water to disinfect them. They warn not to leave the seeds of this species in the solution for more than 10 minutes. The bleach treatment is followed by a 24 hour tap water soak. Use just enough water to cover the seeds. They sow the seeds on the top of moistened vermiculite and cover them with a layer of moistened green sphagnum moss. As soon as the seeds begin to germinate, remove most of the moss layer. With this treatment, seeds of N. breviflorum germinated in 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Cleaned, air dried seeds can be stored in a sealed glass contained in the refrigerator. (Culliney 1999; Rock 1913; Stratton 1998; Wagner 1990) [Data from Herring, E. C., & Criley, R. A. (2003).
