Neostylis Capsule Maturation Time

[hbozeman]

I selfed a Vanda (Neostylis) Lou Sneary 'Blue Bird' in October. A capsule has developed and seems to be growing well.
I mainly did it to practice my sterile lab techniques. Just wondering about the approximate time for maturation. I do want to sow it green.

according to OrchidWiz, Neofinetia falcata is 165 days to greenpod and Rynchostylis species is listed at 150-250 days. Hope that gives you more data if someone else isn't more specific.

Thanks. That means that little rascal is about ready.

I checked with a Neofinetia falcata breeder. He harvests after 105 days (for green pod sowing).

I would say, HURRY UP.

Thanks to all. It seems that the hurrier I go, the behinder I get!!!
