The plant is self pollinated however it may require some assistance of wind or pollinators which is achieved in the following ways
  • One can pollinate by introducing bees escpecially the bumblebees in the greenhouse,
  • Design the greenhouse structure in that it allows wind to get in through the insect net
  • use of a blower(electric vibrators) or hands to shake the plant and allow pollination to take place.
