I have 2 unicums that are blooming right now and I'd like to try pollinating them, any suggestions? I've done some searches already, so I am just looking for additional tips, suggestions and aftercare. Thanks!
If you know where the anther cap, pollinia, and stigmatic opening are and you've got toothpicks, and maybe a magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe just in case you can't see where the flower parts are; you're golden.
It may even help your pollination efforts if you knew what the viscidium on the pollinia does.
Knowing that the seed capsules mature at roughly around the 3 - 4 month mark may be useful too.
