Collecting Seeds

Hi Dustin- if the species is not self fertile, you need two different plants (not cuttings or pups either) to make viable seed. Sometimes you can use pollen from an unrelated plant to fool a self sterile plant to set viable seed.

But how do you know if the plant is self fertile or not?
