L. fournieri seed pod maturation time? Female
Default L. fournieri seed pod maturation time?

Hi all, on June 13th I self pollinated my L. fournieri, as you can see in the picture the seed pods are looking great, and I think they've been turning a little red because of high light, but I'm not sure and I don't want them to open before I get a chance to harvest. I looked everywhere for maturation times of rupicolous laelias but can't seem to find an answer. Does anyone know when these should be harvested?

I couldn't find yours but according to OrchidWiz, cinnabarina and flava are ready for green podding at 110-120 days. Yours is about ready ?
I have found the odd mistake in OrchidWiz so its probably best to wait until the pods start to yellow at the blossom end......obviously your call.

Adriana, it took 4 months (from March to July) when I selfed my L. alvaroana last year. I waited until the fruit naturally dehisced. What potting media are you growing it in?

Thanks for the replies, looks like it's pretty close to maturing then.

Naoki - according to the person who sold it to me it is potted in a "mix of crushed tree fern, charcoal, perlite, and maybe some oyster shell" and retains a lot of moisture. Is that a determining factor?

Environment would influence the fruit maturation time somewhat. But, I was just curious how others grow rupicolous laelia. I'm pretty new to this group, and yours looked like a pretty happy plant. I'm also using media which retain fair amount of moisture. Some people seem to emphasize drying them well, but most of mine seem to be relatively happy.

Rupicolous laelias is a very temperamental family of plants(for north hemisphere), if is accommodate with yours conditions and you are accommodate with plant, grow in all type of media.
