    To get more usable seeds from each fruit, instead of cutting like shown in video, cut the star fruit lengthwise along the star points maintaining the core. Once the core is separated gently dig the seeds out with your fingers.

      The best way is to cut the Starfruit almost half way down (Not all the way down) and then turn it all the way around with your knife still in it and then pull it apart and take out the seeds. You won’t cut any seeds

    Suggestion for you: Next time you do this, cut the fruit lengthwise and along the bottom of the "V"s. Separate the segments that way and you'll see the seeds come out in their natural "pouches" and undamaged.

    AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your tutorial on how to grow a Starfruit tree, somebody commented Starfruits are vines, could it be there are different species of starfruit? About a month ago I bought a starfruit, and to my bad luck, the fruit only had 1 seed, but guess what, lady luck shined forth and that one seed has sprouted, it looks identical to yours and I haven't touched it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to transplant it to a bigger pot, its currently in a yoghurt cup container. Thumbs up and greetings from Mexico. :)

It makes mess as it sheds leaves alot. I see no fruits at all. It had to be in the ground and in full sun to grow good and give fruits.

      Giordana Lucas from what I have read online the seeds do not remain viable for long, and it is advised you plant them A.S.A.P., waiting now more than a few days, and they should look a glossy brown. My guess is your seeds are dead and you need to get new ones. Unfortunately, this will include the torturous exercise of eating the fruit lol

    I've read to start them in full shade.
    Then, at what point to I put them in the sun?
    And, do I very slowly acclimate them, such as putting them in dappled light first, then slowly increase the amount of sunlight?
    Mine are now about 2" out of the ground, but they seem to have stalled.
    not sure what to do now

      @TropicalFeelings  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think it's fine to plant them directly in soil since they germinate easily and quite fast!
      I usually use the paper towel method with seeds that are particularly sensitive and harder to germinate. However, both methods have pros and cons.
      Good luck with your plants!
