What do you think if the problem(s) if a capsule collapse after developing for about

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Most plants are naturally 2N.

If the plant is 3N or 4N, that's probably the reason why you're having problems.

As Royal had stated, there is a ploidy issue here.

Genetic manipulation is sometimes done on purpose to avoid buyers from breeding their own stock. Some of these plants are patented (not so much on orchids, but on many of the other garden variety plants they are).

Although, there are times when genetic manipulation is not part of such an insidious business venture, but rather for breeding larger more robust plants.

Sometimes if the plant you're pollinating is a hybrid, you will have problems with breeding it. Particularly if you're doing selfings.

If by cross pollinating, you mean two flowers from two different plants that are not clones of each other, then the problem is different.

But if you're pollinating two flowers from two plants, and they're clones of each other, it's almost like selfing. At least this is my understanding.

However...

If you're pollinating two different flowers on the same plant, that's not an outcross, that's still a selfing.
