Of course! How silly of me to forget that.

I use a small soft brush to gently collect the pollen from the stamens. Once the brush is pollen loaded it can then be used to gently touch the stigma causing fertilization or you could just have bugs crawling around on the blossoms.

If you brought your plants in from outside, be sure to carefully and thoroughly inspect them for aphids.

Thanks!! Very helpful!! Do you think I should pollinate them or just let them grow over winter? One of them is already huge and really doesn’t need to grow more and the other is doing well but much smaller so maybe I’ll do both? Let the small one grow and try to pollinate the other?

And I’ll check for bugs. They were potted already and on the deck, didn’t save the in ground ones, but could maybe still be bugs. Have actually noticed some holes in leaves oddly?

He said he is making that design next.

I think that’s awesome he’s into crocheting.

Okay wait... which way are the nails facing? Hopefully down? Or is the point to sleep on the spiky side?

The nails are pointy side up.

The nails are pointy side up.

I figured that was the case given it’s probably meant as a torture device

And there definitely won’t be any sleeping no matter which way the nails are facing.

No, no. The resulting holes let the ummm good chi in. Or something

It is actually not meant as a torture device. They sell them in roll up mats as an acupuncture device.
