the dry paint brush, or Q-tip, are common tools for transferring pollen, but I lack the deft touch, and do it the easy way: I just snip a few male flowers, dropped into a ziplock bag ... then, when the flowers open, I slip the whole baggie over a lower branch ... shake the bag a bit, remove it a few hours later ... also, if your pollen ever 'gets away from you' :wtf:, you 'MAY' be able to save some of the plants from over-pollinating, by liberally misting with water ... water ruins the pollen ... I saved a large outdoor plant from further pollination, (by an unknown male, only a couple feet away), by misting down the male, before moving it, and, then the female ... we got lucky, and only a handful of seeds developed ... :jointsmile:
