I have been growing a lot of anthuriums from seed over the past couple of years. I have grown A. vittarifollium, A. gracilis, A. "unknown" from the seeds that my big unknown birdnest dropped that seem to have been pollinated by another species, and have just planted some A. plowmanii seeds.

All those seeds have been ripe and red and soft.

I have 3 seedpods at present on my A. pedatoradiatum. They have been on there for quite a while, and have never turned red. They are still green and rather hard.

Does this mean that they are not viable? Or do some species produce seeds that don't turn red and soft? Should I plant them anyway?
