![Female Parent Flower](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_1da5b54eb4ed4d81bc50a3bf02d161f7~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/2e6512_1da5b54eb4ed4d81bc50a3bf02d161f7~mv2.jpg)
Unopened flower bud with the petals just showing above the sepals

Step 3
Remove sepals, petals and stamens of the female parent flower
![remove sepal petal.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_8c7c9a61b2a24e31bbb79260cb8241b6~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_120,h_68,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/remove%20sepal%20petal.png)
![remove stamen.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_b4e33a26b5cc4fb58e9924b2af5fce47~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_120,h_68,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/remove%20stamen.png)
Step 4
Pick one male parent flower, expose and transfer the anthers to the top of the stigma of female parent flower
![expose anther.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_2c70318f73664a679cd87e7cf57699d2~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_119,h_67,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/expose%20anther.png)
![transfer anthers.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_43fc9881a95746508e1fca337ba6bbdb~mv2.png/v1/crop/x_0,y_11,w_1920,h_1059/fill/w_121,h_67,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/transfer%20anthers.png)
Step 5
Wrap the female parent flower with plastic wrap, use a pin to fix the wrap
![step6.PNG](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_4dfb2c6e9d0549a6b2e00da012423675~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_119,h_67,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/step6_PNG.png)
Step 6
Attach a tap at the node, the tag should state female parent plant, male parent plan and date (assigned numbering is optional)
![attach tap.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_90c62e1e547849c6b34fa01445a82238~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_119,h_67,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/attach%20tap.png)
Step 7
Open the wrap 5-7 day later, see if pod was formed
![check pod.png](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2e6512_90a70c56c7724bbc908936672a6e715f~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_119,h_67,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/check%20pod.png)

Step 8
Collect mature pod after 1 month
