First of all, the cultivation of a new variety of cactus has to go through artificial pollination. Cactus is not easy to self pollinate. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out artificial pollination between cactus with close genetic relationship to obtain seeds of new varieties.
Cactus flowering time is very short, about a few hours to five days. Wait for the cactus to bloom. Generally, the flowering time of indoor cactus is from April to June, and may is its flowering period.
The flowering time of cactus is the most prosperous after 12 o'clock at noon. At this time, it should be dipped with pollen and applied on the stigma of pistil. When pollinating, try to avoid excessive water or excessive water on the flower, otherwise it will fail to pollinate successfully and affect the success rate of pollination.
After efforts, once the cactus pollination is successful, the mother's and son's rooms will expand, and it will take about 1-2 months to change from light red to purple, and then they will be ripe for harvesting.
The collected seeds shall be cleaned at random, put into paper bags and stored in a cool and dry place, and can be used for sowing in the next year.
