It’s been about 2 weeks since I took the 1st image I posted. This is today. The flower is looking kind of sad. Does this look normal? Does anyone know how to tell if it will fruit up by looking ?

    It kind of looks like ours. The flower only blooms for a very short time and then dies out, so the flower dying like this seems normal to me.

    I don’t know if there’s a way to tell if it will bear fruit except just waiting, which is probably not comforting.

    Not sure how much I trust the AI, but if no one else answers… Looks like it’s drying out, so it should be fruiting

    If pollination is successful, the flower will eventually dry up and fall off, revealing the developing fruit at the base. If pollination is not successful, the flower may turn yellow and abort.

        Are you relying on natural pollination or did you take a qtip to them?

          I use qtips since most of my stuff is inside a screen to protect them from the iguanas
