Dio,
Iv'e been growing D_capensis for a long while, and in my experiences,
they produce *thousands* of seeds! If you aren't too careful, and don't
gather the seeds as soon as they are read, you will soon find hundreds
coming up in your other CP pots. I just finished my re-potting over
here in Australia, ( Here the CP season is just beggining!) and in the
process removed many D_capensis that had emerged in other pots.
Anyway, if you want to store them, place them in a paper envelope, and
place them on the bottom of you refrigerator until spring. When
planting them up I never use fungicide, and I scatter the over the
surface of the mix without covering them. You should have a high
germination rate anyway with D_capensis.
All,
Just an important tip to keep in mind when you are repotting S_purpurea
species. Don't tip the plant upside down! I had a shower of smelly
half digested insects cascade all over my new jeans, and I wasn't too
impressed. I better sign off now,
cya
