    That’s a beautiful Astro, my favourite all time cactus. I tried storing pollen in the refrigerator before but it wasn’t viable, I’ll definitely try freezing it next time. Maraming salamat po for sharing with us, you’ve earned a subscriber 😊 Have a safe and Happy New Year 🌵☀️🌸🌺🏜

      I know! They’re very unique and beautiful! Easily a favorite by collectors! 😊
      From my experience, storing pollens in the fridge would only last them for 2-3 weeks while on the freezer it can last upto 2 months. However, the viability decreases and the seed yield is less compared to fresher pollens.
      Happy New Year and thank you! 🙏🏽

    Thank you for the video. What are those green litle balls? Shmtng against humidity?

      Those are desiccants. Yep! They absorb moisture thus decreasing the humidity.
      Thank you for watching!

    pagkaharvest po ba open muna vial para ma airdry bago ko lagay sa freezer?

    • @srpsecosphere4965

      Yes po. Open vial for 1 day with the dessican then lagay mo na sa freezer. Better po by batches para if may gagamitin kang pollen isa2 mo lang makuha kasi once ma defrot sila, di na maging viable if i freeze ulit.

    Paano po kapag gagamitin na yong pollen? Ipa-dry muna po ba o direct na gamitin?

    • @srpsecosphere4965

      Idefrost niyo po muna without opening the lid for 10 mins. After defrosting, pwede niyo na gamitin.
