15 months later... They survived some extreme heat over the summer that scorched a majority of the leaves. Bounced back and time to repot! I'm thinking I want to separate them now. Thinking they'll do better in their own spaces.
That makes sense that it would take an incredible amount of time to achieve result like what I described. I did some more research and the owner of EP had some experience with F2 crosses and what was interesting was the one he said was most successful was my example! I guess, like you said...
I'll get straight to the point; has anyone ever seen a Nepenthes F2 hybrid? For example n. (lowii x truncata) x (lowii x truncata).
Now I am no biologist (although I did take advanced bio in high school), but I have a hypothesis on how the traits of each parent would show through. I'm assuming...
