Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

but i still wonder.... why is it so difficult to create those hybrid which is interesting?

Since the pollen can be collected/stored.

Well ventricosa is the most hardy and tolerant plant so it is the best plant for a beginner:laugh:.It grows like weed too...:1thumbup:

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Maybe they just dont have any idea then..:confused:.What i mean is they'll just pollinate with plants with the flower at the same time so no plans on what hybrid that will make interesting.:glare:

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

My opinion all hybrids are intresting except ventrata my favourite hybrid i have is N miranda cos its been giving me pitchers on every leaf each increasing in size

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

:laugh: have anyone of you create your own hybrid before?

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Jeff i would love to create my own hybrid crossing hybrids with another hybrid will be fun.BTW can N miranda be reproduced through seed propagation is it sterile???? Many people say it is woh.

Kentasours,
Nepenthes have female and male plant so they can't be self-pollinated.
You must have both of the plant's sexes to reproduce them by seed.
I've heard that xMiranda is all male plant.(but they might be some exceptions).

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

SoOoOoOoOo N miranda is not sterile icicicicciciciccicici now i can have a little hope of crossbreeding neps I have my ventrata for 2 years i cut it down and it came out with many basal now it looks like a bush with a couple of pitchers,why cos i grow only my ventrata in potting soil lazy to repot.I cut the mother plant and a tiny plant came out from the stem and it also put out lots of basals.

POTTING SOIL FOR NEPS=LARGE LEAF,SMALL OR NO PITCHERS

I see.
I heard Hongrui mentions that Miranda is sterile.
He cant get any seeds from the female nep after he crossed. Hmmm
We shall wait for him to share his experience.

I wonder, how long can the pollen keep?

Anywhere we can get/buy pollen from?

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Jeff,
Not to mention you're in Singapore, you can get pollen from you friends there..
I know Lam, Cindy,Firefly..etc..etc.Who have a lot of plants.

Good luck..(are you trying to pollinate your plant?)
