Hi all. I was wondering if anyone had even done cryogenics before, and if so, I was thinking of someday getting one of these to store Nepenthes pollen in for long term use.
Ever since I saw Modern Marvels on cryogenics and their storing seeds, etc.... for future use, I got the Idea of using it for my neps pollen for when I make new Hybrids and species.
As we know pollen in regular cold storage doesn't last that long (Regular freezer/Refrigerator). Thats why I'm considering cryogenics, cause I have some really really rare and exotic hybrids. Plus some rare species.
I found this place on the net with affordable cryogenics freezers. Some are even under a 1000 dollars which is very reasonable.
