Product description
The Veritable pollination brush allows you to pollinate the Lingots® flowers of fruits and vegetables, such as wild strawberries, mini bellpeppers or hot peppers.
Outdoor cultivation requires the intervention of insects or wind, indoor cultivation requires human intervention. This pollination brush is ideal for fertilizing flowers: its diameter and the fine and soft bristles are perfectly adapted to this function.
What is pollination?
Flower fertilization helps to obtain fruits and vegetables. For this, the pollen of stamens (male parts of flowers) must come into contact with the pistil (female part). Some plant varieties have both male and female parts in the same flower, such as strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers. In nature, this process is performed by bees and other pollinating insects. Indoors, the insufficient airflow and the absence of insects do not allow the fertilization of flowers. In such case, pollination must be done manually, when the plant is in the process of blooming.
How to pollinate with the Veritable® pollination brush?
Using the Veritable® pollination brush, lightly brush the inside of each flower to transfer the pollen to the pistil. Wipe the brush when switching from one species to another to avoid cross-pollination. Continue with delicate gestures, because the flowers are very fragile.
