Ludisia discolor seed pod

[ludisia29]

Thank you for that lenghty reply King of Orchids.

I have not heard of this sphagnum moss method you are talking about. Where I´d only have to boil the moss. I am aware of the more complex turkish towel method, that does involve the use of sphagnum moss. You´re not talking about that right? I think thats too complex, and flasking is alot easier.

As I have a couple of seed pods, I have decided to try out flasking, sprinkling and the bark method. I do not know for sure, if ludisia have any endosperm but I think its worth a shot. As for the bark method, I saw it on this Austrian webpage, I cant remember their names, but they said to collect the bark from a tree in the forest. I think its just necessary to collect it from a tree with significant amount of fungal growth on the bark and then mist it with water frequently.

I do not know if any of this would work, but since I have seed pods, why not give it a shot. The contamintation factor in the flasking of seed pods does scare me a quite a little.
