This is my first try at hybridizing so I don't know how long it will take, but Lyle mentioned that it will still probably be next year before I see blooms. I just got off to a really late start lat year, and hopefully this year will be better.
By the way, I think Steph mentioned bringing the pod parent indoors when trying a cross in difficult weather, and I'm wondering how that went because each year we go on vacation for two weeks in June, and I suspect that when we return it will be about 100 outside; and last year none of the crosses I tried in the 100 degree weather took, but when it cooled down to the 90's again I got a few more pods. So if I could bring the pod parents into the kitchen for 24 or 48 hours, where the temperature is not too cool, I'm wondering if they might take.
Does anyone have any ideas about that?
