Any advice for pollinating Sansevieria flowers?

last modified: 8 years ago

My family has had the same Sansevieria plant for probably over 40 years. Today we noticed that it has flowered.

I am hoping to propagate this plant from its seeds. I understand that this will likely not work but I would like to try anyways.

I would appreciate any advice on how to go about pollinating this plant so that it will produce seeds that I can plant.

I only have one Sansevieria plant which lives indoors (it's winter so putting it outside is not an option). Could I take a Q-tip and pollinate the plant using its own pollen? Can a Sansevieria pollenate itself or does it need to be pollinated from another Sansevieria?

Thank you in advance! I appreciate hearing any advice you have!


Update: I noticed that two different shoots were both blooming. So I took the stamens from one shoot and wiped the pollen on the stigmas of the other shoot and vise versa. We'll see what happens.
