Alocasia Pollination

- Today I attempted to cross Alocasia Maharani with Alocasia baginda 'Green Dragon' or 'Dragonscale Green'. More inflorescences are opening so I will try other combos. UPDATE: This cross did not work. I selfed Alocasia azlanii using the same method and the ovaries are swelling and have stayed on for a week after pollination. I am hoping for a colour change!
I have a variegated maharani that is sending up flower spikes. I know my chances are incredibly slim, but I am going to collect the pollen and try.
I generally use a super mini small spatula to pollinate. Started with a brush but this way is more practical 🤗🤗
Is there an update of cross pollination?
As far as I know, Maharani is a hybrid, Hybridized plants are commonly sterile so that may be why it does not work! :(
Couldn't you just self-pollinate it and produce seeds that may germinate and grow to full-sized copies of itself?
How long till you know if it was successful? I’m very interested in crossing my maharani and azlanii! What’s the next step after?
It turned green and swelled up but the plant got a bit dry so they may have been aborted. I am trying again.
Amanda did u cross them? How did it come out???
Thinking of doing mine now!
Very interested in this, though I have a philodendron moonlight that I am waiting for the flower to open up, which they way it looks to me would be the same way to pollinate as you have done with alocasia. Good luck and hoping its successful. New sub.
I have two black velvets flowering right now. Can I pollinate then between them?
Can you just share you alocasia care in general really quickly? Yours are all so happy with huge leaves.
I do have an Alocasia care video! It is called Mother of Dragons.
Love these plants. @patrickflynn I found the following video very helpful also. m.ruclips.net/video/ciIEz9U9eyk/видео.html
If i have berries should i let them dry or peel the pulp then let it dry and germinate shortly after?
how long before seeds are ready, thanks !
Hi! So how did it work for you?
I’m amazed. New subbie here. Keep us updated please
Did it work? You got seeds? 😊
Did u get any results ?
Any updates please👍🏼👍🏼!
Sadly this one did not take. I am trying again!
Where i can buy this seeds, plaeae?
What does this do exactly? My Dragon Scale is starting to bloom. Is this bad? Does this mean my plant is happy? Anyone??
She was trying to pollinate to produce seeds, but when alocasia bloom, the female part is receptive before the pollen is ready so it doesn't work unless you have saved pollen to pollinate the new bloom.
It means your plant is happy though!
My dragon scale and my black velvet are starting to bloom right now as well ☺
Cant see very well.camera moving too much.not in focus
How did the pollination process take?
This one did not take.
How did it come out ?
Omgosh what a beautiful collection of alocasia ❤️ can you pollinate successfully with the same plant…? 😬 I only have one flower on my Dragon scale
No, you can't pollinate a plant with its own flowers,. It needs more DNA because it only shares half of its sequence when pollinating.
Did it pollinate
Sadly this one did not take. I am trying again!
Gostaria de adquirir essas plantas!
