Hello

There's only a single day, the first day of the flowering phase. This is the day on which it begins to stink. On this day you must pollinate.
The best 3 times a day. Once early, once at noon and once in the late afternoon.
In the evening, the female inflorescence is off flourished. Overnight, then goes the male inflorescence and produces pollen for the next day.


If you notice a night opens the flowers, you should go try early the next day, if it smells. If it is the case, then you can get started.

You can of course also scientifically at it and continuously measure the temperature of the spadix. If a significant temperature increase when compared to the ambient temperature, the time is right.

You can take the pollen from the other flower inasmuch as she has blossomed quickly. If that is already 14 days old, then the chances are slim that the pollen will still work.

The pollen die off quickly. That's why it should be fresh. You can test it with the old pollen, but I there is not much hope. Also flying insects from a blossom to another in nature and not only to take a 14-day detour

I gather the pollen on the 2nd day of the flower. So now, if they were made. Then I freeze them.

You can wait also the flower day 2. Then the flower of full pollen is. You can cut the flower, then shake the pollen on a paper. More pollen than that which then hang on the flower, are not formed anyway. Whether pollen also form when the bloom is already cut off, I don't know. Have you ever done.

I had also failed in the pollination of my crispifolius last year. It was the frozen pollen, or I just had bad luck

then will be no pollination trying my A.konjak, have indeed not dusted on the first day of the stench,
How soon is that the pollination was successful?

is it at all possible to cross A.konjak with A. albispathus?

Hello Seiti,.

the crossing of kind of was still not made (or not made public).

http://www.Amorphophallus-network.org/

If you're a crossing of type of (or even a cross), wittily please very carefully and note that the MOM is always called. so eg ' John Tan' = A. variabilis x A. titanum, so pollen of titanum on the scar from variabilis.
If you take it exactly, you should note also the genotype or the origin of the parents.
It helps to get the species pure and to prevent that hybrids ever circulated as species etc.

Happy pollinating, Bernhard.

@Seiti:

If you haven't tried it on the first day, then you won't. The female inflorescence is active only on the first day and this is the day where it stinks. The next day, the long're then and that was it.

It is therefore Yes, botanically speaking not flower but a flower. @Bernhard. Correct me if I'm wrong.


You can see about 2 weeks after a success. If after this time the handle is still crisp fresh and is in the pot, that could be what. Spathe and spadix dry while away, but the stalk and the female inflorescence remain fresh. At this time, even the scars should be swelled. There you can see already the small green berries, are slowly beginning to grow.

so pollen is completely wilted, unfortunately nothing with seeds
would have been interesting if it then would have worked out if I had dusted on the first day of the stench with the thawed pollen, or whether generally a hybrid of these two types is not possible. Or the pollen does not freeze that have survived.

Maybe it works so next time, if there even is what the seedlings in any case exactly as hybrids with the two involved species on the Stecketicket are marked, because I have already already met this problem at the Carnivore forum that you often at all more white which species in the bred crossroad (often even multiple hybrid) are involved in. And if the hybrid of pure species look very similar to it is even more problematic.

my remaining A.konjak seem to make this year even though they harder so far not so are there by the weight as the tuber that has flourished and looks also at A.albispathus as if you will bloom no flower

Hello
has someone made positive experiences with the freezing of pollen? This year A. bloom with me albus, and I freeze before pollen for next year. Probably I can with the first konjac blossom then expected, and try a cross.
Otherwise does anyone interested in pollen?

Unfortunately the tip of albus flowering of anything was nibbled at, a catcher will not probably...
Is the time actually normal? Seems a little late. My other Araceae are also just to drive out.
