The Echinopsis from the previous posts was self-fertile, and I pollinated it by just blowing carefully on the flower. (There was also a second flower, which I did not do this and therefore didnt yield any fruit)
The fruit grows from the base of the flower, and falls of by itself when mature enough. There is probably around 200-250 seeds. I am not 100% sure about how the germination rates are for self-fertilized plants, but I'll give it a try. Of course I will graft the seedlings on Pereskiopsis.
