Yeah, l do it the way orchids do it in the environment they evolved in.
My area was originally cow pasture and didn't have any orchids or their fungi to begin with. So the first couple years no orchids would germinate for me. I inoculated the trees and bushes around my house with fungii from the roots of naturally germinated orchids by blending them in a solution of water very dilute fert and molasses and spraying the trees with that solution. After that orchid seeds started germinating.
Now I just make my pollinations that I want, let the seed pod mature and spread the seed everywhere I think it might germinate. First I stuck to species but now I've focused more on primary hybrids which seem to have a lot harder time germinating ex-vitro but a few crosses have already bloomed for me.
