Hi,

did anyone on the list did any systematic studies on pollen storage
strategies for Nepenthes?

A few years ago I tried storing them at 4 degrees centigrade in a
closed glass vessel containing a smaller vessel with a saturated
Calciumchloride solution. According to a paper I read (don't remember
reference by now but I think I can find it if anybody is interested...)
this ensures a air humidity of about 30% at 4 degrees which should be
ideal for many pollen types. As my results varied with Nepenthes I'd be
interested in reading on other trials.

Bye

Andreas
