Hello, I am starting to get into flasking and am wondering if anyone knows about Trisetella capsule maturity times?
I pollinated this capsule one month ago (Trisetella hoeijiri) and the bottom is starting to turn white. Ideally, I want to sow green. I had set an estimate of 90 days, but seems like this might open a lot sooner. Any ideas?
Published estimates are just that, because individual plants can react differently as can indiuviduals' growing conditions.
I have no experience with that genus, but my general rule-of-thumb was to observe closely, harvesting the capsule as soon as either end begins to turn yellow/beige.
Thanks Ray. Do you know of any genera that produced viable seed with less than a month of capsule maturity time?
The bottom of this capsule is completely white / beige so I'm thinking of sowing it today or tomorrow.
