Fresh flowers come in as almost white and will turn brownish / blackish over a week or two, and in between some would be pollinated and turn into fruits. Through naked eyes, the flowers seem rounded and don't open up like ordinary flowers. Some gardeners suggest light shaking of branches or brushing flowers lightly to ensure successful pollinations. So far I leave it to nature to handle, but on the second thought light shaking of branches is too simple to ignore....... haha. But I am guessing that we should expect the worst with the current prolonged hot spell - 2 weeks without rain. I wonder if miracle berry can do wonders and spring out some magic and bear fruits.......

Oh pokok bunga nie susah nak keluarkan bunganya yer..tapi mesti ade jugak kan time yg akan finally terjadi secara natural..kena tunggu lah jawabnyer yer..
ReplyDeleteSelalunya saya ambik hirau hal pendebungaan, bunga menjadi ke tidak. Sekali sekala pergi selak daun2 cari kalau ada buah.... Ni dah tahu cara setengah gardener uruskan pendebungan, eluk juga cuba...... mana tahu, entah-entah berlambak-lambah buahnya.
DeleteWhen it blooms its double miracle, hope it will be rain soon to at least chill a bit for all creatures.
ReplyDeleteMost plants need sunlight to initiate flowering ..., so in way current prolonged hot spell could have given a kick start to miracle berry flowering. Just hope too much of sunlight and scorching heat won't fry the tiny flowers.....
DeleteI used to have one of these. I can't remember what happened to it!
ReplyDeleteAll I remember was that it was easy to germinate. And that it likes acid soil.
Prospero, i tried germinating once... only two made it, and now in somebody else garden. I only keep two parent miracle berry plant.
