I want to make my own crosses, but I don't know where to start or what the process is. So here are my questions:
- How do you care for a pregnant plant?
- How do you collect the seeds?
- What are some flasking labs here in the US, and how much do they charge to grow your seeds?
- How does one care for seedlings in flasks?
I know that the time between germination and bloom varies from species to species and genus to genus, so I'd just have to find that out for myself.
Some of the crosses I want to make don't even exist yet, so I'd be pioneering something. It'd also be fun to name my hybrids and watch them bloom for the first time.
