Encyclia Tampensis rescue

I'd be more than willing to flask a few of those seed capsules for you. I bet others here would as well. Leave a few on there, but all those seed capsules sap energy from the plant to put into developing seed. If you don't need them all, I'd cut back the spikes to make recovery a bit easier.

How many pods do you want?I also have two others with pods.

If it's better for the plant, I I have no other plans for the pods, do you recommend I cut them off?

OK then, who wants pods?

I would love to try flasking some Encyclia if you have seeds to spare!

Thanks,
