Potted watermelons need pollination

Balconies, especially enclosed balconies, have little wind and no natural pollination by insects such as bees, so it is impossible for watermelons to bear fruit. Therefore, balcony watermelons must be artificially pollinated. Today I will introduce two methods of artificial pollination.

Watermelon pollination method 1: pair-to-pair method

Watermelon has male and female flowers. When the two flowers are in full bloom, we can pinch the male flower and smear the pollen of the male flower on the stigma of the female flower. Remember to apply it evenly, otherwise you may end up with a deformed watermelon.

Watermelon pollination method 2: brush rubbing method

Shake the pollen of the male flowers into a clean container, dip a clean soft brush into the pollen, and sweep it onto the pistil of the female flower until a distinct yellow color is visible.
What do you think? Artificial pollination sounds very advanced, but the operation is actually very simple, right? Wait until the flowers bloom and then give it a try!
