The Dutch have been experimenting this method I'm
about to explain on the Mustard family of plants and
the cannabis family of plants and originally got the
article from a friend in the Netherlands. A female
plant can revert to a male , but male plant can't
revert to a female. I've seen in many species, that
when you need a male and a female plant to make seed
and that female is stressed hard enough, she will
produce male flowers, so this is where my theory comes
into play. If you take a cotton swab and soak it in a
solution of Gibberellic acid 1000 ppm one gram to one
liter of water and when the Nepenthes is in flower,
apply the cotton swab to a node on the flower and in
my opinion, 7-14 days a male flower will appear. Do
not remove cotton swab until a flower appear. In
turn, an all-female seed. By theory, it should work.
