My delenatii is finally in bloom. I got pollinia from one of Leo's sanderianums to make Paph. Sacajawea's Slippers. The first bloom is open and the second bud is about half open.
1. I've heard about people pollinating when there is a full moon and having higher seed count and more live embryos. Is this really true? The next full moon is Thursday, April 25th. Should I pollinate on that date or does it matter?
2. I'd also like to self it but was wondering if my plant could handle 2 pods.
3. What is the chance of the pollination not being successful?
4. When and how can I tell if it was successful?
