Hello, at what age a star shape astro or V-type asto start flowering? Thank you so much for the wonderful videos, keep them coming!

[@theplantprinceph]

Hi, thank you for watching! It really varies, but usually Astrophytum will start to flower on their second year.

[@avocadotoast8957]

Is it possible to cross pollinate an a. Asterias with an a. Myriostigma? Or a 3 ribbed myriostigma with 4 ribs?

[@theplantprinceph]

Yes, it is possible.

[@jhamesfredricfrancisco6914]

How long po, bago ma-ripe ang fruit and kung kailan po puwedeng i-harvest?

[@elvinluccon3394]

Does it have to be a different plant or same plant is okay?

[@theplantprinceph]

Thank you for watching! Most of the cactus needs another specimen since they are self sterile.

[@frederickcal9986]

May i ask where to put the pollinated plants? is it in the bright shaded area or you can just return them where they placed?

[@theplantprinceph]

Just return them where they are placed.

[@josephvivar5344]

Ilang years po ba para sa astrophytum para magkaroon ng flowers?

[@victordominguez6462]

hello all. so these are self sterile? they cannot self pollinate with their own pollen? thank you.

[@theplantprinceph]

Yes, they are self sterile.

[@louisevaldez1222]

Can a cactus pollinate itself? As in lalagay mo yung male part sa female part ng same plant?

[@theplantprinceph]

Thank you for watching! There are some cactus na kaya mag-self pollinate lang Frailea, Ferocactus, Melocactus, and others. Pero for Astrophytum, most Gymnocalyciums po, they need a pollen donor

[@louisevaldez1222]

@@theplantprinceph Ohh okay. Thank you po for answering!

[@creativenoodlesjrb9115]

Kung 1 flower lng Pwde self pollinate? Thanks

[@theplantprinceph]

Thank you for watching! 🙂 Hindi po, self sterile po ang mga Astrophytum. Need po ng another flower from a different Astrophytum.

[@seannakhalingrai8314]

After watching your video, I followed the same steps but still it is not successful, please need your suggestion. Thank you

[@grahamwhitman5515]

I only have the one plant. Must I have two plants?

[@theplantprinceph]

Yes

[@rosemarieraposon9469]

Pano po makuha ang seeds?

[@theplantprinceph]

Thank you very much for watching!🙂 Once the fruits is pink or ripe, you could pick the seedpod. Open the seedpod then collect the seeds, I use strainer then put it under a running water to remove the sugar. I’ll make a video of it soon. Thank you
