What do I do now? Suggestions and experiences with pollination methods for indoor chilli plants are more than welcome.

If you grow any citrus at all, grow this one.
If you grow any citrus at all, grow this one.
Citrus obovata, Fukushu kumquat
Cold hardy to 28F/-2C, can be grown in a pot. Fruits 4-5 yrs from seed.
It’s the fruit that makes it so special. The peel is very sweet and chewy and the fruit inside balances it with a nice tartness. And bc you eat fruit+peel, it’s very nutritious.
I sell seedlings for $15 plus shipping available in early spring. Open to reservations now.

UPDATE: Solanum abutiloides
Winter didn’t kill this perennial even though it dipped below freezing. The fruits grown from seed are highly variable and mine taste like sugary battery acid.
Well, it’s fruiting this summer and I was letting the birds have it (even they rejected it). The berries ripened until they fell off the plant. I tried the fallen berries and there is almost no caustic taste. Yay?

They were intercropped with Solanum corymbiflora (seen in the background) and that kept the bunnies away. This Solanum “hardy tamarillo” is supposedly cold hardy to 15F/-9C and lives for 12 years.

1: Grab a cotton bud/q-tip/small, soft paintbrush
2: Brush the pollen around onto the inside of the petals. Just a twirling motion inside the flowers will do. Think like a bee as you do it.
@plants Citrus obovata, Fukushu/Changsou kumquat
What the insides of the fruit look like.
The peel comes away from the fruit easily and the fruit is sectional/easy to pull apart like a mandarin. The taste of the fruit is like a tart orange but the pith has sugar in it so it’s not completely sour. The peel is very sweet. Sometimes the fruit is seedless, but no more than 2 seeds per fruit.

@jblue @plants
Yeah, a lot like twizzlers. (At least in my mind 😁)
If you're going to plant a juniper, you might as well go with an alligator. They're the only kind with edible fruit. But, they are full size trees so it'll be a while before you get a harvest. They're great trees though. Drought, cold and heat tolerant and they make great shade.
But I appreciate your concern!
@qkslvrwolf It's always fascinating when people who doesn't live here nor have experience with our climate wants to tell you on what works here or not. @plants
Oh I did not order ladybugs :)
@meraord @selea @plants I mean, I think there's plenty of places with as harsh climate that have problems, like

@qkslvrwolf Not a problem here, the Swedish winter would kill any foreign bug that isn't native to our climate. @selea @plants
I think so, according to the company I bought them from they should be native to northen europe atleast.
