How to Pollinate Bell Pepper
- 1). Set the temperature of the heating mat to between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the optimal temperature for bells.
- 2). Dab a cotton-tipped swab into the center of a flower, being careful to press only gently.
- 3). Move the swab to another flower and repeat the dab.
- 4). Continue to move to all the flowers on the plant until all are complete. New flowers are generated daily so repeat the entire process every few days. You only have to do a flower once so you can skip any that have previously been touched by the cotton swab.
