Hey everyone,
I just purchased a cacao seedling off e-bay. Since I'm in NY, this will be a houseplant for me. I would like to know if anyone has any experience growing this species as a houseplant? I've read that they do well with lower light levels / indirect light due to being understory trees in the wild. The high humidity requirement is what I'm worried about. I can mist them with distilled water (tap water is hard and alkaline here) but that only helps as long as it takes for the misting to evaporate/absorb. What recommendations can you provide!?
Second, in a few years when my plant becomes old enough to start flowering, will I be able to pollinate one flower with pollen from another flower on the same plant? I'm really growing it for the fruit and hope I can get some by maintaining the plant with decent window culture. Any and all advice is appreciated!
