Two or three days after flowering, the stamen will grow, and the pistil is in the middle and the stamen is around. Use a brush to dip the stamen pollen on the pistil to complete pollination. Within a few days after pollination, flowers will fall off and begin to form seed pods, which need to be collected in time.

Pollination time

The flowers of the moon feast are long and thin tubes, so it is difficult to see the structure of the male and female pistils when the moon feast is just blooming. However, you can only see the pollen of the stamen, but you can't see the pistil. Don't worry. Wait patiently for two or three days, and the pistil will stick out its head. At this time, the pistil is ready, which is a good time for pollination!

Pollination method

Use the smallest brush to carefully dip the pollen onto the pistil.

Withered flowers

The flowers begin to wither a few days after pollination, so don't make a fuss at this time! At this time, if you hold the petals, the whole flower will fall off the pistil. When the petals are removed, even the stamens are removed, leaving the pistil and ovary after pollination.

Seed knot

Wait patiently for a period of time, the seeds will gradually mature, and the ovary will begin to change. The calyx will start to expand. At this time, we must observe the progress every day, because the ovary will soon crack, if you don't find it in time, then the seeds will be scattered.
