Re: How to pollinate
 

Very detailed and comprehensive guide Wijaya... thanks for sharing :1thumbup:

hornydevil,
All nep species are of single gender/sex, either male or female. If I'm not mistaken, the ratio of male : female should be 7:3.

Re: How to pollinate
 

Nepenthes have seperate sex and they do not change. You need a male plant and female plant to get seeds. The bad new is only about 30% of plants in cultivation are female.

Wijaya,
Thanks for this pollination by the numbers guide. It should prove very useful!

Re: How to pollinate
 

OK, then how do we differentiate the males from females? Any distinctive features?

Re: How to pollinate
 

As far as I know, only till it flower then you can tell... Unless there's other features that I wasn't aware of?

Re: How to pollinate
 

It has been established that both the male and female plant flowers so there must be some difference in the flowers to tell them apart.

Could someone please enlighten this newbie?:spinning::confused: Pictures of the differences are most welcome! Thanks in advance.
