More flowers. How do I get seeds now? #sundew #sundew-advice #carnivorous-flower

@cyndi I have been trying to pollinate them using a brush. But not sure if they are self-fertile or need cross pollination.

@cyndi @teju let the flowers all bloom and close up. Once all the flowers have closed they will wilt and dry. When the seeds are ready the pods will pop, seeding seeds everywhere. For me, I made a super light weight paper cone to catch all the seeds and to prevent any spread. Once all the pods have popped, trim the flower stalk down as close to the base as you can.

Thank you @demeterstouch @cyndi I will try it out. The cone is definitely a good idea
