When should Phal seed pods be cut?

Hi! I was just wondering, should I cut my phal's pod while it's still green, or wait for it to brown?

green

pods can take 4-10 months to mature, depending on the species/hybrid. To be sure - wait until the blossom end of the pod changes to a yellowy colour.
I personally prefer to wait until dehiscence takes place but you have to monitor this carefully. I do this as my propagator prefers to receive mature pods.

Ok, thank you!

What propagator do you use? Are you very happy with them?
