Today, we'll explore the fascinating world of plant gender determination.

How do plants identify their gender? We have two ways to solve this mystery. The first method involves DNA testing on seeds; the second method requires waiting until the plants reach six weeks of age.

Let's break down the gender identification process:

Male plants show tiny sacs at their nodes, while female plants grow bracts. As the female plants mature, they produce pistils or stigmas, wispy hair-like strands that play a crucial role in the pollination process. These pistils catch the pollen released by male plants, initiating the pollination process. Once pollination occurs, the female plant becomes focused on nurturing the next generation, producing seeds.

It's like a botanical soap opera in our gardens, with every twist and turn telling a captivating story. So, stay tuned for more insights from the lush world of plants because, at Artizen, we're not just growing plants; we're syncing up with Mother Nature's beat.
