The only solution I can think of (that doesn't require a laboratory) is to breed your seedless male with a seeding female. Otherwise, you can still take cuttings of the plant.<br /><br />If your plants aren't producing seeds for other reasons, it might be that they're simply not getting fertilised thoroughly. Some species can be tricky about this and some require the interaction of insects by default.<br /><br />Definitely give cuttings a go. It's easy once you know the basics and the best way to preserve the traits of your favourite plants.<br /><br />In fact, I should probably write about how to do this in my next blog.<br /><br />Hey, it only took me a year to respond!KorganRiverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359302683705367422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936802370472918474.post-32991109270467197402010-07-02T15:42:13.665+01:002010-07-02T15:42:13.665+01:00Man. All I have are questions!! I will only bother...Man. All I have are questions!! I will only bother you with a few though.<br />Certain plants do not appear to make offspring in the form of seeds. Is there a method to force a plant to produce seeds?<br />I've had a few that I've never seen produce even one seed. I know they have to, because they ARE plants after all, but I just can't figure out how to get them to make babies. I'm absolutely horrible at producing living cuttings for some reason. I'm working on it though.<br />I've planted a few of the seeds you sent me and nothing has grown yet, but it's definitely my fault, not the seeds. I only planted a few and being away from home often during this heat doesn't lend itself to plant watering enough.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523500923105141875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936802370472918474.post-30269358775183893802010-01-21T22:49:53.552+00:002010-01-21T22:49:53.552+00:00dude, you have no idea.
