Pollination of mammillarias
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2019 7:17 am
Hi
So yesterday I walked into the store and found the whole tray of mammillarias in bloom. I decided to buy 4 of them just to try pollinating them. I've never done that but I love sowing cacti so it would be even more exciting to sow the seeds from my own garden I took a small brush and pollinated each cactus with the pollen from another one (I am not sure if this is how it's called in English, but I am sure you understand what I mean). Is there anything else I should do for the successful pollination?
Thanks in advance
