Hi,
This might sound like basic Bio 101, but when people mention that a lot of sundews can self-pollinate, does that still require human intervention to apply the pollen to the stigma? Or will pollen somehow "magically" find itself there via wind, etc?
I have a two pots of spatulatas that have 8 to 10 stalks each and although the flowers are pretty, the old ones haven't formed seed pods yet and it's been a couple of months now. I ask because I haven't pollinated them myself and just assumed it would invariably do it itself.
Thanks!
Johnny
