Cryptostephanus pollination technique
mmattus@charter.net (Tue, 19 Oct 2004 11:43:27 PDT)
Onw of my Cryptostephanus as bloomed four times this year, and I have
a good fruit set from a spike that last bloomed in June. These must have
been naturally pollenated by insects, since this was the first time that
the plant bloomed out of doors. The fruit capsules are still green, but I
expect them to riped soon, since the plant is unbelievable in bloom
again, but this time moved to the warmth of the greenhouse since
temperatures here in New England are dipping below freezing in the
autumn evenings.

We use an ear bud or a twist of tissue. They are easy to pollinate and
set
seed well.

My Cyrpto. just started blooming and I was wondering
if anyone had tips on how to. The flowers seem really
small and I wondered what I am supposed to do. SInce
it is a nice pink vansonii, I'd like to get as many
seeds as possible.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
