Gina1960 said:Kristen, this is my first time LOL. I have grown many many Anthuriums from seed, but never tried to pollinate my alocasias before. They are very time sensitive. Once the spadix comes into view, the pollen is only viable for about 24 hours. And you have to do a little surgery on the spathe to be able to get the pollen down to the flowers. This will be my first foray.
Pheadra, I am not certain. I will just have to keep eyes on them until the are ripe.
Its a mad scientist experiment LOL

Was the pollen clearly visible/differentiable or is it just assumed that any visible spadex is coated in pollen? I found it hard to tell if my recent spadex ever had pollen.
