Seed pods on Phalaenopsis Orchid
I'm wondering what causes seed pods to appear on phalaenopsis orchid plants.
Normally these orchids bloom but never produce any seed pods. One time I bought a Phal orchid that had this green elongated pod attached to it. After some searching online it turned out that this was a seed pod. This was my one and only encounter of an orchid with a seed pod.
How come Phals bought in stores don't usually produce any seed pods? And is there any way to encourage the plant to grow them?
