How to pollinate blueberries in balcony pots

Pollination method of blueberries in balcony pots

tool

Prepare cotton swabs, toothpicks, etc.

Specific operations

Tear off some of the cotton on the cotton swab and wrap it around a toothpick (not too tightly). Then put it into the blueberry flower to collect the powder and then apply it to each stamen. Simply put, first take the powder and then apply it on the flower head.

Note that the best time for artificial pollination is at noon facing the sun. Use a toothpick to gently touch the flower and the pollen will fall down. Then put the toothpick inside. This is because some flowers may not have pollen. To determine whether there is pollen, you can touch the flower towards the sun and see the pollen fall down. As long as there is pollen from one flower, all the flowers can be pollinated. It is very convenient. To increase the success rate, this operation can be performed for three consecutive days.

In addition, when you observe that the blueberry buds gradually lift their heads instead of facing the ground, it means that pollination is successful, and flower lovers can pay more attention.
