| I have a impateins plant and would like to propagagte the plant by seed. i have read that the pistils appear after a few days the pollen has shed. Thus preventing self pollination. Is it possible to save pollen and use it to pollante a flower so seeds can from. I will then use the seeds ti cross pollinate agin. Has anyone ever done this?
please help pomme8916 |

| Pomme8916 You don't really need to save pollen. Just take some off one flower that has pollen and then dab it on a flower that dropped the cap. That is the easiest way to pollinate and you are sure to get seed. |
