Pollinating Sarracenia

[edmund83]

thanks for the share as well....

i haven try this method yet. normally just let them be natural. all the while the flower are lost their petal already and area of ovari was turn to green color. is there have any seed for me? if yes, how do i collect them as i know they will crack all the seed away when ripe.

i got S.Minor flowering soon.. anyone interest to hybrid with my plant?

If it unbends to face up its probably been pollinated. The growing season is about 7 months in most places so wait for at least 6 before harvesting the pod. If you time it right they will be ripe. then you can straftify and sow.

my sara purpurea has flowering since last 2 week, last few days ago, when i look at the flower, all the pollen are gone due to strong wind. I wonder the flower has been pollinated already or not, but the flower is still not facing upwards.

What can i do with the flower now ? Anyone can advise?

Just wait till the flower is dry... Then, open the bulb and check whether have seeds or not... It will not give negative affect to yours plant... Dont worry

try to polinate using cotton bud.even seems no pollen left.
nothing to lose, then wait till the flower dry

My sarra was dehydrated one very hot day and the flower was wilted. Then I water it with lots of water and the flower recovered and face upwards. Does that means its pollinated?? Or a side effect from dehydration.
