Baixiangguo can be self pollinated. Its flowers are surrounded by a circle of purple tendrils, which are bright and wide. When self pollination, the tendrils around the pistil can catch the pollen falling from the stamen, or the attracted insects can help pollination. But it's certainly not as successful as artificial pollination. Artificial pollination directly dip the male flower pollen with a brush and apply it to the female flower stigma. If it is successful, small fruit will grow in three days.

There is a circle of purple whiskers around the flowers of passion fruit, which is bright in color. It will attract many insects and catch the pollen from the male flowers, so that it can complete the pollination process itself. Or the insects that come here to collect honey and pollen will leave the pollen on it after passing here. When the flowers are wrapped, they just lean on the stigma. It is also possible to apply it directly on the pistil stigma to realize pollination.

2. Artificial pollination

The flowering time of passion fruit lasts about two hours after 9 a.m., and it will close after 11 a.m., so pollination will take two hours. When pollinating, dip the pollen of the stamen with a cotton swab, brush or paper towel, and then apply it to the stigma of the pistil. It is usually three pistils, pay attention to painting one by one. If pollination is successful, you can see that small fruits have grown in about three days, and they will grow rapidly in half a month. If it fails, two smallpox will fall.
