3. How to get seeds after flowering

Seeding is its main method of reproduction. So, if you want to propagate this way, you need seeds. Through artificial pollination, we can obtain the seeds ourselves instead of buying them. One of its flowers can bloom for about six days. On about the third day, its pollen will be ripe, and artificial pollination can be carried out at this time. You can buy a pollination pen, dip it in pollen from one flower, and then apply it to the stigma of another flower.

If the two plants do not bloom at the same time, you can collect them in the refrigerator and wait for the second flower to bloom. If pollination is successful, the petals will become very bright and soon a seed pod will appear inside the flower. When it matures, just remove the seeds from it.
