Hi Dorothy, I usually use a Q-tip swab to gather the pollen, then I just lightly roll the Q-tip over the pads until they're covered. Then its a good idea to mark the date and parents on a string tag or piece of tape. The best time I've found to pollinate tropical hibiscus is from the fall thru spring, seems to me they don't set seed well when its hot. Best of luck!
