I germinated some. Did take a while and I nearly gave up and threw it away, but forgot to and then jus a few days ago, I saw it sprouting, was so excited!!! One has true leaves comming through now. 🙂

You have no idea how you saved me today, my father asked me to do this "grow star fruit seeds" and I was confused, but this beautiful done video has just solved my problem and I'm doing mine in a pot...Ya - Hoo ☺

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.

I used your method to grow star fruit plant. DAMN thankyou. 2 of the seeds germinated well. I'm hoping for the rest to come up too. THANKYOU FOR THIS. I hope they grow well.

I didn't know the leaves fold up like a mimosa! So cool!

[MasterKenfucius]

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.

I've got about nine seedlings now. I hope I can grow them to maturity. Excited!

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. :)

This was a very helpful video.
l learned how to carefully extract and plant my seeds, not too deep.
I also learned what they look like once they emerged, and I learned they are sensitive to touch/movement.
I really enjoyed this video, and the selection of music was perfect.😁🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing🌹

THANK YOU! I’m germinating a carambola and it actually sprouted. Thank you so much for inspiring me!

[azimalif]

Yo tengo una árbol de Carambolo en maceta y desde los 3 años aproximadamente ha cargado frutos sanos y grandes.

[rubyraza]

I planted few seeds, 4 sprouted quickly but the problem is the outer skin was still attached when they sprouted so prevented the seedling growing ! I carefully used a tweezer to remove the outer skin . What did I do wrong ???? Reply will be appreciated as I want to help others to grow that have sprouted with same problem . Thanks

Good vid, i love love the music and subbed due to that fact :)

[TheLazysketcher]

I wonder if this will work with seeds you get from green ones. I bought one about a week back, ate it today, salvaged a few seeds from it. They feel somewhat hard, i hope they're ready.

[aniyahdilovelilioness]

Gonna start them indoors first🌱🌾🍃😁
