I've had this for 2 or 3 years and am finally getting to see a flower! Any special tips for pollination? It didn't seem to have any visible pollen yesterday when I tried.

i used this vid when i got my first P.weser flower. the first time you try this you might want to tear open the flower as is shown in the vid, but once u know how to get the pollen and where to rub them against you can do it the next time without harming the flower.

the more pollen u manage to rub against that little flap the better the succes rate :p

also i noticed that my flowers produced their pollen 1-2 after it opend up.

good luck

Thanks, Aozora! Very helpful. Those flowers look a lot deeper than mine. Mine's pretty wide open, I don't think I'll have to tear it.

Where did you find those white pots in the picture? Those look nice.

I think I got them at growershouse.com for $0.89 each. Hydrogalaxy.com had them for a similar price at the time. They're Hydrofarm brand frequently labeled under their Active Aqua line.

If I were going to buy bulk again (for VFTs), I would definitely compare Anderson Pots of Oregon.
