The time of artificial pollination

The best pollination time is 8 ~ 10 a.m

Preparation before pollination

Disinfect the small regular script brush with ethanol and dry it. It is best to have several pots of crane hope for pollination

Pollination steps of crane hope

After the Hewang orchid is in full bloom, we should first gently separate the bright blue inner petals on both sides from the center, then dip the mature pollen in the middle into the brush with a small Kai brush, and then pollinate it to the narrow and long stigma at the apex, with two flowers for each inflorescence

After an interval of 2 ~ 3 days, repeat pollination once again. The method is the same as above

In addition, we can use cross pollination or self pollination. However, the seed setting rate of cross pollination is higher than that of self pollination, so Xiaobian recommends cross pollination. After pollination, only seeds will mature in 80 ~ 100 days, and seeds can be collected~

Seed collection of crane hope orchid

The most suitable time for seed collection is that the pericarp tip just cracked. After seed collection, we should expose the fruits to the sun, thresh the seeds, and sow them in time after threshing. Isn't the seed of crane hope very suitable for preservation ~
