Has anyone ever hand pollinated an Aloe before? I’ve hand pollinated a thanksgiving cactus previously but I bet it’s a little different. Just looking for some advice :)

    I've never done it but I'm supposing you would just use a small paintbrush and get pollen on it and apply it to the stamen. The important stuff in the stamen will travel down to the ovary and their generate a seed pod and hence seeds.

      The stamen is actually part of the male reproductive structure. You’d want to apply it the stigma of the pistil (the female reproductive organ).
