| Before the flowers open (when you can see the petals, but it's all still closed up), you need to rip off the petals and all of the stamens on the plant you wish to be the mother. After you dab the pollen of your choice on, I higly recommend covering the "flower" with a bit of cheesecloth (twist ties work well to secure it) for 24 hours. |
