Phal. Pod Matured Female
Default Phal. Pod Matured

Back in March (iirc) I pollinated two of my mutt Phalaenopsis sp. . One is a diminutive white with pink I picked up at a greenhouse in Montana during my honeymoon a few years ago. The other is a pretty fuschia rescue from our local Walmart. Its my first attempt at orchid pollination and I was successful for the most part I think.

The two I cross-pollinated are the middle white and right fuschia. These were decorations on a carrot cake for Easter.


A couple of close-ups of the whitish one:


This particular Phal blooms like clockwork every winter, usually opens up around the end of January, just in time for my birthday. And as thus its one of my favourites.


The pod matured in October and over the past weekend has split open along the side. I collected it in a paper envelope and have it saved.

I am really not interested in propagating via flasks or other chemistry experiments. I lack the know-how, equipment, ingredients, and patience. Is there any decent way to get the seeds to grow otherwise?

For the heck of it I sprinkled a couple "taps worth" on the soil media of my Macodes petola. It stays moist in its covered pot and it's been outside getting natural rain this past summer, so maybe it has the right innoculants in the potting medium to encourage growth. Any idea if this will work?

Would anyone be willing to take the pod and flask all they can and give me a handful of babies and sell the rest for themselves?

Thanks in advance.
