Pollination

karyn1
11 years ago

In all the years that I've grown adeniums I've never had a seed pod, even when blooming plants are in close proximity. Do those of you with pods hand pollinate or rely on natural pollinators? I've also only had a very few plumeria pods and never any that have matured. I have to hand pollinate most of my brugs and passies and it's not like I don't have a yard full of flying insects. I rarely use insecticides and never any broad spectrum ones. I'm also very careful with application because I rely mainly on beneficial insects for pest control. I'd love to get some seed pods on my adeniums, even though they'd likely produce the common pinks.
