Pictures are of Trichocerus Scopulicalus (scops/scoups) which are about 5 years old and this is the first time I have got pollinated seed. Seed pods contain about 2000 seeds

Used a microwave steamer with the colander taken out, germinated over winter and they are about 4mths old When can you plant them outdoors? Did you have a lot of viable seeds? How many plants will you have?

How many plants will you have?It is all new to me, but have read that your can put them into pots when there about 6mth old, but you have to keep them moist and in a shaded area until there 12mths old. After about 2mths I opened up the vent in the steamer and spray them with water once a day to keep them moist. Will have about 50 plants, seeds are more viable within the first 2 years and have read that they last 10 years+ as they are fresh seeds I have had a good strike rate. As I said it is all new to me, but I have plenty of seeds and if I stuff up I can try again with something different.
