C Way,
Yups, it's not easy to do selected cross with neps, it will take a lot of time (took me 2 years) to get first batch of seeds.

You need large collection of potential breeding stock with good and desirable traits, grow it to flowering stage (when a nep flower, it usually won't be producing pitchers anymore during and after flowering for sometime, so it's a sacrifice for me), hand pollinate and grow the cross to adult stage... years of time. However, I still feel it's worth it...



if there too much seedlings, i still got space for them,
