How to pollinate a肉锥 (meat cone)

This article introduces you to the knowledge of 多肉植物肉锥 (meat cone succulents), including how to pollinate them. Let's take a look together.

For a long time, the badges of kites have been separated, without pollination. Today, I will briefly explain the process of pollination. First, choose two pots of the same variety of badges that have bloomed. This is cross-pollination. Generally, the flowers of badges can bloom for 3 to 5 days. Starting from the third day after blooming, choose the afternoon when the flowers are in full bloom on a sunny day. This way, you can both enjoy the flowers and pollinate them. The stamens and pistils of badges are deeply hidden inside the flowers and are not easy to see.

Gently tear the flower in half to see that the stamens of the badge grow on the flower wall, which is covered with pollen.

Use a fine pollination pen to gently pick up a little pollen on the stamens, and then apply the pollen to the pistils with the pollen-covered pollination pen.

It's not easy to operate with a macro lens alone, and the pictures are not very clear. The green stigma is the pistil, and the tip of the stamen has sticky substances, so the pollen will basically be adsorbed when it passes over. If it's not successful the first time, try pollinating twice. Practice makes perfect. After successful pollination, the pistil will slowly gestate seeds in the following days, just wait for the harvest.

This way, you can wait for the seeds to be born.
