Collecting nep pollen isn’t too hard, however you’ll be collecting it for a while. Pluck off the flower when its ready, use a paintbrush or something to get the pollen onto a piece of wax paper, and store it in the fridge until more flowers are ready.
I don't have any female neps, so if I saved the pollen it would only be if there's some sort of seed bank for nepenthes pollen that might want it. I tried to search for "nepenthes sperm bank" but, uhmmm, apparently people do weird stuff to plants.
Lol, you can put up a post on here, terraforms, ig, facebook, pretty anywhere with CP’s. I’ve seen some posts on terraforms recently talking about breeding nepenthes. If it were me I would let it flower just in case anyone wants to do a collab with my pollen. I don’t know how much you would care about seeds and/or need more space though. Your call.
