How to Pollinate a Cactus Flower (from flower to seeds)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2020
- In this video, I show how I pollinate my Parodia cactus flowers to produce seed pods. It starts from having cactus flowers until the seed pods are formed and ready for picking. Finally, I extract the seeds from the cactus seed pods and store them in a sealed bag.

I'm glad to know they could last for years. Thank you for all the info Ana.
Your cactus are beautiful 😍. I have learned alot from this video. Great job.
Another awesome video
Hi Ana . Great job cactii expert . Have a blessed day 💝
Amazing video Ana! I live in the desert yet I hardly know anything about cactus 😃 so it's always interesting to learn from experts like you!
Thank you .I learned so much how to pollinate 💞
Good useful video,Ana! Very well demonstrated as well. Enjoyed watching it very much. 👍😍👏👏🌻🌺💐🌸🥀
You are so we'll educated on your passion! It's wonderful learning from you. I just picked up a cactus from Lowe's and it's soaked so I've been watching some of your videos to prep myself to save it. 😊 Well done!
Beautiful cacti... I like it😍
Great job ana.😊🌵🌼🌸
Wow!!! That is quite a load of seed!!! Just think of how many potential plants are there!! Good idea letting them dry on the plant!! Very impressive yield!!! Great video Anna!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks , have a great weekend!!!!
That was a great video Ana! I like at the end when you separate the seeds from their pods. Good info!! 🌵❤️ 🌸
Thanks Natty! Emptying the seed pods when they are dry can be so therapeutic.
Just amazing 😍 thank you po for sharing 😊❤️
Very helpful video! Thanks. Your Parodia looked amazing with it's flowers. Congratulations on your 15.000 subscribers!🌵💚👏👏👏
Vanesa Suria thank you! You guys are awesome. 😃👍🏼
Always happy to see your channel...Thank you Anna. Cheers...
Thank you, Grace!
Success for you..pls do visit me. Appreciate it.
Very nice detail.
Very nice harvest. I love those kinds of cactus. So pretty. Mine aren't doing so well but I may have gotten bad ones to start with. As for seed pods taking months, my Gymno fredirchi has 3 fruits and they are still green. Seems like it's been more than a month and it's taking forever. I keep them inside because I don't want something to happen to the fruits outside where they were. The cactus bodies have turned green from that. They used to both be pretty red ones. Hope they will rippen soon so I can harvest and put them back out to color up.
Very nice, Ana! 😍 parang water colour brush yan gamit mo. Pollen stuck to it like magnet. I love Notocactus/Parodia buinungii. Very interesting spination and colour. Kakainggit ang mga seedpods mo. Ang dami! 😍🥳
Edithcolia Grandis hahaha! You are correct. Water color brush ng anak ko yan. Hahaha. 😁
Cactus Caffeine sabi ko na eh. 😂
Great video Ana. I love the dry seed pods where the seeds just fall out without having to mess with all the pulp. Looking forward to harvesting the seeds from my asterias, they’re getting biiiiig! Thank you for sharing with us as always Ana, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful weekend 😊☀️🌵🌸🌼🌺🏜☕️

Salamat po!!
Glad you did this video Ana 🏵️🌵☕... very educational.. And beautiful flowers..Ana have you ever seen or heard of the monkey tail cactus? I saw one a man from Mexico had...It was over 2 feet long.. have a wonderful day 🏵️🌼👍❤️🌵🖐️
Yes, I have one but it is still small so it has not flowered yet. 🙂
Love big like
wow!😍
Tenho um cacto desse ainda nao floriu ,mas e muito lindo
Me too!!🌵
Same with Gymnocalycium fruits po, easier to clean when completely dried haha
Hello Ana, watching here in Davao de Oro.
Salamat po. I miss durian shake! 😉
@@CactusCaffeine thanks sa heart, likewise, I am also craving durian nowadays.
Parodia cacti in this genus are very self-fertile and looking at your stigmas they have pollen on them most likely from insect activity. Try to cross them as soon as they have opened when the stigma is clean of pollen to increase your chances of an actual cross and not self-pollination. Nice video
Thank you for that tip.
Daming seeds 😍 maganda yan pag ganyan tuyo na, s iba ko rin cacti tuyo ko nrn kinukuha pero s gymno ayaw ko iwan n nakabuka ung fruit kc natutuyo ung nakaexpose nagiiba ang kulay kesa s mga nasa loob parang nasusunog s araw. Ititinda mo mga seeds? Dami nyan pag sinow. Kaya ung sakin pamigay ko lng.
Hindi ko pa alam Katherine kung anong gagawin ko sa mga seeds ko. Hindi ko pa sila maasikaso kasi busy din ako sa work. But I sowed some of them also.
Great Video! Do you have a video on how to plant cacti from seed and the best tips and steps?
I am working on one! Thanks. 🙂
Hi Anna .... Question for you .... how about the cactuses that bear fruit? Would they have seeds in them? I will try to pollinate like you did. Thank you for you knowledge. ❤️❤️❤️
Mila Bradley yes! Cactus fruit and cactus seed pods are the same. 🙂
Very impressive! How can I get some seeds ❣️
maybe a stupid question, but is it pointless to attempt pollination between 2 flowers growing on the same cactus ? I don't have multiple cactus of the same type...
You can always try. Some cacti are self fertile so you may get lucky. 😉
I would like to buy cactus seeds from you.. ?????? Im from sri lanka.
Can we save the broken cactus flower one was about to bloom it broke due to my mistake
I saw it done to an Echinopsis (long stem) but only if it is about to open in like a day. Sorry for the late reply.
Beautiful flowers. Can parodia bungii produce seedpod with self pollination?
I have not tried it as I always have at least 2 that are flowering at the same time. But one of my viewers said, it can be pollinated by itself (same plant).
@@CactusCaffeine thank you for the information 😊
Great video! I would like to ask if it is okay to Pollinate only one cactus?
Some cactus are self-fertile and can form fruits even by itself. Fraileas are such and so is the Echinopsis mirabilis. But most need cross pollination with the flower from another cactus plant.
this was much help but where do you get the pollen do you buy it?😅
I get the pollen from my own flowers. I cross pollinate my cactus flowers whenever I have at least 2 of the same genus in flower.
I don't have the same type of cactus to pollinate with, can I use a different type of cactus? Or is it best to self pollinate?
Chances are higher if you pollinate within the same genus. That is both are for example Parodia or both are Echinopsis, etc.
Hello i have a question i have bought seeds from the internet i have put these on the soil and ad little water and put it in sunny place several times but nothing grew,i must have been doing something wrong
Planting cactus seeds is a little different. You have to keep the soil moist all the time and keep the humidity very high. You can achieve this by covering your pot with a clear plastic. Seeds need a lot of moisture and some heat (not direct sun) to germinate. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine i have a growbox but i think i gave to little water
Here in Las Vegas Nevada. 😂😂😂. Ano raw
Can I pollinate flowers from the same plant?
Some are self-fertile so you can do that. While others require pollination from flowers of 2 different plants. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine Thank you so much! Love ya vids❤🇵🇭
Hello 🌷🌹🎁🎁🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🌺🌺🌺🌺
Are they all the same species?
In this video yes. But you can cross pollinate some cacti easily, different species
So you can pollinate with the same species?
Absolutely! 😀 You get the same plant.
@@CactusCaffeine I have two same gymnocalyciums can I pollinate them will they be successful
Nakaka lungkot kasi minsan lang nag flower yung cactus ko 😩 Tapos yung isang cactus ko nagkaroon sya ng seeds sa ibabaw nung tinanim ko yung mga seeds hindi nabuhay kasi hindi ko pa alam pano mag buhay ng seeds ng cactus. Tapos after 2 months yata, namatay yung cactus na kinuhanan ko ng seeds 😭 1year ago na yon. Pero up to now broken hearted pa rin ako sa nangyaring yon 😢 Stay safe. God bless us ♥️
Naku, I’m so sorry that happened. Pero we learn from experience. Mag-move on ka na. 😉 At least ngayon, mas marami nang available sa market, pati mga soil medium, maraming choices. Also marami na ring videos sa RUclips that can teach us. 😃👍🏼 Good luck po.
some seeds for me
