One of my eulophia guineensis is making a seed pod. I would like to know how I should plant them. My previous seeds of one of my epidendrums I threw the seeds in 1 part bleach and 5 parts water and sow them onto peat mos. They are coming up beautifully. Can I use the same method.

Maybe, maybe not, I don't know for certain. The probability is a little bit higher for you to succeed with what you described because the orchids are naturally from certain parts of Africa, and the fungus needed to germinate the seeds may be where you are. Another reason for possibly succeeding is because this orchid might be one of those few with seeds that contain a small store of nutrients for the embryo to grow off of called endosperm, but there's still a probability sowing ex-vitro will fail.

Try sending some of the seeds to a lab to be sown if possible, and some of the other ones you can try sowing using the method you described.
