Image via WikipediaI have come across several articles in the web for doing manual pollination. Some suggested paint brush use, just the size enough for the flowers to be inter-pollinated, and some others suggested the use of cotton buds.
I chose the paint brush, as I always have these within my reach, and I don't have to throw them away after use.
Now, all I have to do is wait. I hope to be successful in my manual pollination technique!
Till then.
The flowers come, sprout, spread, then wither and die. No pods.
And the leaves are almost always having some aphids sticking underneath them. I wouldn't have minded that for all I care, but then, there are no fertilized flowers that will show me some colors other than green and white, so I would be on the lookout on how to perform artificial pollination.
I hope to make this work - many flowers are waiting!
Till then!
