I only have one plant so can I save the pollen until the one I have flowers again?
Just for clarification… if you’re indicating that your plant still has unopened flowers, then yes, as Panman stated, you can simply keep that pollen until the very next flower in sequence opens and pollinate that new flower with it. However, if you’re indicating that your plant is completely done flowering, and you’re indicating the next flowering cycle, you can try keeping the pollen, but it may not be viable by then. I don’t know for how long the pollen will remain viable. Now I do know that with orchids I have heard of people storing pollen in the refrigerator or even the freezer for a few months until the next plant they wanted to pollinate has actually flowered, but I don’t know if this will work for heli pollen.
