Dear All,

Can somebody help?

I have one bulb only of Albuca clanwilliamigloria in flower and I am trying hard to self pollinate it with microwaved pollen. So far no success. I followed the instructions in the wiki which indicates microwaving between 5 and 15 seconds. But it does not say at what power level. My domestic microwave can be set at 6 different power levels, I used the second strongest one. I tried different exposure times in between 5 and 15 seconds but all the flowers I pollinated dropped off so far. Did I use too much power? Or not enough? There are still some flowers and buds left so any advice is most welcome.

Bye for now 

Uli
