    Hello, I dry my seed and pollen in a closed box with silica, either my mesuring equipment minimum is 10% or thats how low can silica go, because It's always 10, that would be close to ideal if you don't want to use a liquid. Need to be tested more with proper equipment tho.

    Is it possible to store clarinervium pollon without the glycerin? What were the silica packets for?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  5 років тому

      Silica will absorb water till it is satured, so humidity can go down to 0 % in the surrounding air. That is not what you want. I would expect the same applies for clarinervium

      @@Cactusinformation I ended up finding some silica and stored it beside the envelope of pollen over night but took it away before adding to the freezer. I didn't have glycerine. But I have the next inflourescence shooting up now and am excited to try this for the first time! Hopefully it works!

    Thanks !
    My tries wend wrong with doing this..
    I think that was becouse i dryed the pollen to much ?
    I thought that de pollen would rot (or distroyd) by 10% humidity.
    No drying at all ?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  6 років тому +1

      This could well be. Some species allow to dry below 10% but others don't. Also the pollen have to recover before use including increase of humidity

    If i want to store pollen for later use (long period) i should keep them in a refrigerator or in a freezer? How long will they last?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  3 роки тому +1

      For periods longer than a couple of months, it is better to use the freezer. In that case the pollen have to be really dry before storing and kept dry. The can last for years. But i am not an expert on all different kind of pollen.

      @Cactusinformation  5 років тому

      Hi Mohammad. Rice must be baked first before use, else it will not work. Once baked i can dry things. It think however that is will just absorb all the humidity (so not a certain balance as with glycerine)

    The envelopes you are using look perfect for storing pollens. Did you make them yourself?

    @8squishyfishy8 4 роки тому +2

    Wish there was any kind of speech describing what is happening. It gets pretty difficult to just look and try to figure out what you're doing, and go back and forth to watch again if I blink.

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Kathryn. There are subtitles. Speech can not be translated in UA-cam. Also if someone claims that the background music is theirs (even if that is not true), we have to replace speech/sound together, thereby loosing the speech and have to redo the work
