Thinking to start a Hybrid Project
 

I think it will interesting to see what kind of hybrid we wish to have from local point of view. I wonder who can make it possible?



Oh yah a bit off topic questions for nep growers for many years
- Do you got pollen from other people?
- Do you got pollen of the kind of species you want?
- Is it easy to get pollen?
- have you made your own hybrid?

Re: Suggest Nep Hybrid
 

If you have a nepenthes enthuasiast friend with a lot of plants, maybe you can get pollen.
My friend made enormous amount of hybrid.One of his latest hybrid is
thorelli x spectabilis x northiana x rafflesiana.

WOW!
COOL!

Does your friend has hamata too??

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Nop! It's a highland plant.

:glare: Hmmm... You know what.
I was wondering. If we have a female nep, how are we going to get the pollen? Example. I was hoping for hamata pollen.

I was in Ipoh last week. I visited a mountain. I saw alot of gracilis.
As I was checking the pitcher, I found out gracilis grow like weeds and its peristome is toothless. What if you have gracilis x hamata, maybe the upper pitcher of that hybrid will be interesting. isn't it? and can grow in lowland.

No one has tried gracilis with any other nep species except amp, bical, northiana or maybe raff.

So Ali,ur friend sells the hybrid seeds he made or not?Hehehe... I like any hybrid mix with trucanta.

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

No he wasn't selling any of he's seeds and he won't.
He gave me a little portion and still it didn't germinate yet.
I'll try to ask some if you guys want nest time he hybridizes.

Hope to get some Highland with lowland crosses. Then might be able to grow them at my balcony. Maybe Rajah x Rafflesiana or Hamata x Ventricosa.

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Hamata x ventricosa still will be HL and will have problem growing in LL conditions.
sorry maybe (ventricosa x truncata) x hamata!

Re: What Hybrid you wish to be in the market
 

Uh aliamyz hamata x ventricosa will not be a lowland but a highland cos ventricosa is a highlander.
