I have an p. agnata "el lobo" and a p. aphrodite flowering at the same time. Is it worth it to try for seeds? I have read conflicting things about aphrodite. That it is sterile but then I also ready I could use it's pollen to make seeds on a different flower? I am not well versed in pings and looking for any helpful insight! thanks!!

I haven't had any luck germinating ping seeds

I've only been able to germinate a sole plant from my own harvest :/. It produced an ok amount of seed but they were small. I'd say give it a shot, if for no reason than to see if it produces seeds and practicing pollination. It can be kinda tricky so having some experience helps even if they aren't fertile.

Don't let your dreams be dreams lol

In all seriousness, I've heard that just pollinating is rather difficult because of how small the flowers are.

I say just go for it, what do you have to lose?

Good points. Going for the experience haha The best step by step I saw involved taking all the petals off to find the right parts. Wish me luck!

You got this! Something I found helpful but destroyed the flower involved grabbing the top set of petals and the bottom and gently pulling down the bottom to expose the organs. It makes it a lot easier to work with
