Ways To Get Tillandsia Flowers In A Greenhouse?

In this video, the author demonstrates how to hand pollinate Tillandsia Air plants while they are blooming. Manual pollination is a technique that can be used to ensure successful pollination in a greenhouse. There are several ways to manually pollinate plants, including separating male and female flowers and using perfect methods. Greenhouses offer benefits, but pollination can be a problem. To help with crop fertilization in a closed growing space, soak the entire plant in water for about 20-30 minutes, then submerge the plant in water and remove it. The frequency of watering depends on various factors.

In a greenhouse, it is important to mimic the natural process of pollination to ensure plants can produce fruit and seeds. There are several products that work best for air plants (Tillandsia). In the wild, Tillandsia air plants get pollinated by bees, hummingbirds, other insects, and even bats. For most Tillandsia air plants self-pollinate, but in the rainforests, they are cross-pollinated by birds, wind, and insects that come in contact with them.

To pollinate Tillandsia air plants, follow these steps: 1) Remove the anther from the male flower, 2) Transfer the pollen from the anther to the stigma of the female flower, and 3) Repeat this process for all flowers that you want to pollinate. A healthy airflow in the greenhouse may already provide enough movement for self-pollinating blossoms.
