I am sprouting my first plumie seeds, given to me by a friend on line, so it looks like I have a few years to get flowers. Here is a basic question: do plumies have to be cross-pollinated, and do they need to be hand-pollinated? I have a miracle fruit/plumie swap listed elsewhere on gardenweb, so maybe I will find a more mature seedling/plant/cutting.

I'm keeping the plumie seedlings on a seed/heat mat along with the synsepalums, so they should be ok in spite of the cold up here in CT.

Any advice will be appreciated!
