Adelae question

How do I pollinate the flowers on them.I have 3 mature plants that has flower'd and more flower stalks coming up.So how do I go about doing this?
 
I've been using a fine tipped paint brush and working the tip around the perimeter of one flower of one plant to pick up the pollen and going to the stalk of another plant to put the pollen on the sticky stigma. I haven't a clue as to how effective it is - for now - but that's the basic idea. However, just allowing the plant to naturally produce plantlets is really the better way to go.
