Colocasia Pollination, how's it done?

18 years ago

What are the basic steps to pollinate a Colocasia flower?

So far I've read that toward the end of a Colocasia flowers life it produces pollen. Then you must get another flower that is in an earlier stage, and pollinate it on a lower part of the flower. Is this correct? Do any cuts need to be make to gain access to the ovaries? I have a couple nice Colocasia's that are about to bloom, and I'd like to give pollination a shot, and maybe end up with some nice plantlets.

Maybe this is more simple than I think?

Thanks
