You can pollinate the flowers by hand. It is a very simple, quick

Please could you tell me how to do that? Thank you.


When a flower is open, use one finger to gently stroke its face, as
if you were a visiting insect landing on it, then do the same for any
other flowers open then, and to finish stroke the first flower again.
Your job is merely to pass tiny amounts of pollen from one flower to
another.

I would do this once every day or every other day. One second per
open flower per day is enough.
