The trumpet plant, also known as the angel’s trumpet or brugmansia, is a beautiful flowering plant that can add color and fragrance to any garden. However, if you want to increase your yield, you may need to pollinate the trumpet plant. In this article, we will discuss how to pollinate your trumpet plant and increase your yield.
Pollinating the trumpet plant can help increase your yield. Without pollination, the trumpet plant will not produce any fruit or seeds. Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male reproductive organs of a flower to the female reproductive organs of another flower. This process is necessary for fertilization and seed production.
