Every year I end up with one or more seed pods on my Prosthechea cochleata which is summered outdoors. I usually just pinch them off since I don't want to the plant to expend its energies into seed making.

It makes sense that P.c. sometimes gets pollinated in the USA, it's natural range extends into southern Florida. Maybe the pollinators range as far north as New Jersey? Not sure though.

I agree with pinching off the unwanted pods. No need to waste the energy on production of seeds you don't need.
