Calaidum in flower

Can you pollinate this with one from a deffinbachia?

I don't know anything about pollinating plants, but Wow ... a Reddish/Pink Diffenbachia would be Gorgeous!

They are two totally different species, so I wouldn't think so! But, mine is also putting out seed pods....I have it next to a bird's nest fern - who's to say if those spores and pods might not mix????? Seriously though - I really don't think so.

BTW - Happy Birthday!!!!!

Thanks,yeah you never know anymore with cross pollination!!!LOL

Oh, is it your Birthday? Well ... Happy Birthday Tropicman! The day is officially over now, but I hope you had a great day!

You can pollinate it, but I predict nothing will happen.

There are almost no hybrids recorded in Araceae between different genera, and Caladium and Dieffenbachia are not closely related enough for me to think there was any reason why it would be successful.

No harm in trying though!!

Thanks Plantlady,
Alistar,nothing ventured nothing Gained!!!!

Absolutely!! :-)

You never know what might happen when you mess with mother nature! LOL. You might just have a new, exciting and beautiful plant - I think you should experiment and see what happens!

Keep us all posted, please!

Well the silly flower on the deffiy won't open!!!!!
But I might have a flower about to open on Alocasia Mac,if the rain would ever stop!!!!

Good luck with your experiments - and I will reiterate Lin's request - please keep us posted!

Thanks and I will let you all know if any things develops!!!
