hi Frank/Hana, i'm Dave from Indonesia, i'd like to ask you about pollination of Astrophytum asterias, as from your experiences, are they self fertile? some of breeders here said they are able to pollinate using their own pollen, but some other (me included) has never succeed in self polinating. and as on your experience, could you elaborate some of it? thanks alot :)
