Making Nepenthes villosa, edwardsiana, rajah, diabolica, trusmadiensis and mollis hybrids—used to be something only for the gods. Now make some of these spectacular hybrids yourself!
After thinking it over for a while, I’m excited to start offering rare and unusual Nepenthes pollen right here on jeremiahsplants.com.
This is your chance to breed some truly special tropical pitcher plant hybrids or pure species seeds using fresh, high-quality pollen from my collection. These species are legends in the Nepenthes world—think massive toothy pitchers, insane colors, and plants that fetch big money. Whether you’re new to Nepenthes breeding or a seasoned grower, here’s a straightforward overview of what you’re getting and how to make the most of it for successful pollination.
What You Get with Every Order
• Freshly collected and dried pollen – I harvest it only after your order comes in, no old stock, no frozen stuff sitting around. This keeps viability at its peak.
• At least 5 anthers loaded with what looks like solid, viable yellow pollen grains.
• Full rights to use the male parent photo (the one I provide) for selling any seeds or plants from that exact cross. Go wild with your hybrids!
• Shipping takes a bit extra time – plan on 5 to 7 days for me to collect, dry properly, and pack it up safely. Patience pays off here.
Quick Tips for Successful Nepenthes Pollination From my 20+ years of breeding these beauties:
• Nepenthes are dioecious (separate male and female plants), so you need a receptive female flower and good pollen.
• The female flower is ready when the stigma gets sticky and starts dripping nectar – that’s prime time for pollination.
• Use a clean, soft paintbrush (or fine artist’s brush) to lightly dab the pollen right onto the tip of the stigma. You’ll see those yellow grains stick immediately if it’s receptive.
• Apply as soon as the female flower is ready – stigmas can stay receptive for days to a week or so, but fresher pollen is better.
• A great sign of success: within about a week, the stigma turns brown. If that happens, you’re likely golden.
• Seed pods take time – up to 6 months for full ripening, so hang in there. Patience is key with these.
• Use the pollen fresh on arrival for the best shot, but if you need to, store it in the freezer for a few months (viability drops over time, but fresh is king).
Availability & Pricing Pollen only drops when my plants are flowering, and batches sell out fast because of how tricky it is to collect and ship viable stuff. Some species are super rare or from older, hard-to-flower plants, so prices reflect that (expect a mix of affordable and premium options down the line).
Important Notes No guarantees on every single pollination working – Nepenthes can be finicky with timing, humidity, or just plain luck – but I’ve shipped pollen for years with tons of happy growers getting viable seeds.
If you’re ready to make some epic crosses, grab your pollen while it’s available. Check the current listings in the shop!
Happy growing, and let’s get those pitchers breeding!
