Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Brug seed "pod"?, 0 by bettydee

Brugs, with few exceptions, don't self pollinate. So you would have to have two different varieties blooming at the same time. You could gather pollen from one variety, store it until your other Brugs bloom and hand pollinate. I've had moths do the pollinating for me. I've also had success hand pollinating. If it is successful, the seed pod starts to form at the base of the flower. You can feel the swollen ovary. You can either pull off the dead flower or just leave it. It will eventually fall off. Depending on the Brug variety, the shape of the seed pod will be slightly different and may take up to 4 - 6 months to mature.

In this photo, I've yanked the spent flower off. The calx is still green. You can see the small seed pod nested within the calx.
