blue painters tape makes a great tag for pollinated flowers, and you can write on it with a sharpie. 2:37 Never have had a New Guinea Impatiens set seed for me!
Thanks for the tip about the painter's tape! We're sorry to hear you havn't had a New Guinea go to seed for you yet. Environmental and nutritional factors can play a role.
Side note about Impatiens / busy lizzies - I had 3 seeds germinate within 2 days and this has happened twice now, both times I put the seeds on compost within hours of their pods popping. I think they like to germinate straight away, my own seeds have been way faster and more viable than seeds bought new in packets (9/10 average viability). I now have my first 2 Impatiens Balsamina (Balsam) plants and they have started flowering, there is so much pollen and a feint aroma of roses, I'm wondering about crossing them with my Lizzies? Balsamina is beautiful btw, I'm only a novice and I grow indoors at home under cheap LED lights but my impatiens and tradescantia are thriving perfectly here. I'm looking for info on breeding now, many thanks for this video.
so wait i’m bad at understanding can i mix a cherry pepper and a ghost peppers to make cherry ghost or will it just like i dunno grow a certain type of plants
If you were to breed a cherry pepper and a ghost pepper you will a handful of random plants. It is unlikely they would all have identical gentics. (All the "baby" plants would not be genetic clones of each other.) Think about parents having children. The children can vary in their genetic presentation even though they have the same set of parents.
I heard you can only breed plants in a certain genus, but I've seen people make pink pineapples using tomatoes and tangerines, so how do they do that if pineapples aren't in the same family as both of those plants? by the way, great video! :)
And two other things. Does this create mono-embryonic seeds? How can I make it where all the plants I grow can be perfectly replicated in things like size, color, and taste?
Crosses between genera are rare, but can occur. This video is primarily for open pollination to create genetic diversity. In most cases it will be on plants that create mono-embryonic seeds. However, it all depends on the type of seed that the species makes. Creating seeds that are perfect copies of each other requires a much higher level of experience and genetics.
@@northcarolinafarms3592 one more thing. If I cross pollinate two plants that are the same hybrid, will they stay true to seed being that they carry the attributes of the mother plant?
@@Mariolio7 I believe that even seeds from the same pod can be gentically different, their colours can vary in same way that parents with dark hair can have a kid with light hair, have a google for Punnett Squares, I'm just learning this too, plants from cuttings should be identical to their parents tho...
This was so informative! I'll have to try the bag trick on my lisianthus, which spills out when ripe.
We're glad it was helpful! And definitely give the bag trick a try. It should be helpful!

Thanks for sharing! It sounds like there are exciting things happening in your plant house!
@@northcarolinafarms3592 Many thanks, yes my home is becoming like a jungle, I love it!
Thx I'm thinking of breeding a moon flower with a morning glory a moon glory thx 😊
You're welcome! That sound fun. We hope it turns out the way you envision it!

but there would a chance of the peppers being little

@@northcarolinafarms3592 thanks for letting me know! Do you know where I can study this?
