I recently have gotten into carnivorous plants. I really love nepenthes but enjoy all varieties of carnivorous plants.

I want to grow my own plants from seeds. In the future I think it would be cool to make my own hybrids. I know it typically takes a while to grow from seeds which is why I wanted to start now so in a couple of years I have mature plants.

If my goal is to make my own hybrids would it be best to start off with seeds that aren’t hybrids (if that makes sense)? I see a lot of seeds that are available online are hybrids.

I was looking into nepenthes seeds but I’ve seen people recommend flytraps or drosera seeds for beginners. Their reasoning was because nepenthes seeds are more expensive, take longer to grow, and aren’t as easy. Should I take that advice and go with flytraps or drosera?

Looking for any and all advice. I’m also seeing people recommend Facebook as a good source for plants/seeds. Does anyone have any specific fb group recommendations?
