Beginner looking for seeds
Hi!
Im a big fan of orchids and i stumbled upon this forum by chance. I have a lot of Phalaenopsis at home, i just polinated them, hoping to get seeds in the future. I also started growing some orchids (dont know yet if i got pwned by the seller). So my question is... Is there someone willing to help me out with some beutifull orchid seeds? I dont have anything to trade but i think you orchid lovers know my standing point
So please, if you can help me out with some seeds, it would make me super happy! And also my mother, who always steals my plants grrrr But what can i do, she IS MY MOM....
Edit: Also if anyone has some Venus Fly Trap seeds (the giant hybrid) PLEASE!

Orchid seeds? Orchid seeds are the size of dust particles and you need to get them specially germinated in a laboratory. That's a science laboratory with people wearing white booties and gloves. If you got orchid seeds in the mail, I really doubt it. You would not have even been able to see the seeds, they are so small.

For the VFT seeds, look for a European carnivorous plant society. They aren't especially hard to grow if you have the right setup and lighting.

I think it was fishmom that had the Den. kingianum seed pods. I don't know how hard it would be to send them over seas however.

as long the seeds are in a plastic bag and some bubblewrap it shouldnt be a problem to send them. If you know someone or you have some seeds, please send them over
