How does Cyclamen pollinate

There are two ways to pollinate Cyclamen: one is self pollination, the other is artificial pollination

These two methods are relatively successful. It's best to pollinate in the flowering period, and then choose a sunny day from 10 to 12 a.m. for pollination. First, gently flick the pedicel with your hand, and the pollen will automatically fall on the stigma. Remember not to use force

Precautions for Cyclamen pollination

Item 1

When pollinating, it is best to choose the full flowering period in January, which can help the germination rate of seeds and maximize the probability of seed germination rate, because the later the seeds mature, the less likely they will be

Item 2

When pollinating Cyclamen again, we should choose the flowers within 3 days of flowering as the object of pollination, because at this time, there is mucus on the stigma and the pollen is orange, which is a good time for pollination

On a sunny day, hold the flower gently with the thumb and index finger of your right hand, and slowly shake the pollen on your left hand, and then dip the pistil stigma of the pollen on the flower to be polled gently on the pollen

Item 3

After successful pollination, it should be noted that the mature seeds should be collected

After the fruit stalk withers, the seeds will split automatically, and then the seeds can be harvested

The harvested seeds must be placed in a dry and ventilated place and dried for a few days until the seeds are dry. Peel the seeds out of the seed coat and store them in a cool and dry place

This is for sowing and breeding in the coming year
