Getting ready for Episcia crosses!


I am so pleased with the amount of buds on my Episcias. Soon to be kicking my breeding program up a notch. I need to pick up the tools of the trade since I'm out. A new box of tooth picks and different colors of cross stitch floss. I really like using the floss to mark what the cross was by tying the fertilized flower with a different color thread. I log the cross in a ledger, marking date and pollen parent.
Also, I am happy to say, I have recently germinated seedlings growing new leaves.

  1. I have done about 8 crosses at this time. Looks like I have 7 berrys swelling!
