Thanks Simba
Just some more info on my growing situation. I live in a secluded bush, high altitude (but for CO2 that doesn't seem to matter, as they bounce a bit more to compensate for less). There are plenty of trees, frogs, chameleons, and as it is rather humid, there is a kind of gorge, slugs and snails are also present, I guess some of them are taken care of by mongooses. Snakes, very disappointing, low numbers; mostly because it is too cold. Then besides the existing orchids I add others, and >95% grow rather instantly with also seedlings emerging. I make sure creepers do not have a chance, prune trees in such a way to match the light level for the species the tree got allocated. But then still you have to deal with the leaf shedding of the trees... I do collect the seed pods and plant / dispense them on soils / branches similar where the parent plant produced the seeds. Now I was thinking, when I get more seed pods, then I can increase the orchid population much faster than with collecting one plant here or there. And the bio-pressure is such that when I relocate e.g.the frogs during flowering, shortly afterwards they will be back, but in the mean time I get more seeds?
