I'm not sure about self pollination with these, It wont hurt to try now, and if a pod develops, you can research if it will be worth the trouble to propagate the seeds.
I did try to cross the two kinds I have blooming now. It will be interesting to see if they form pods.

Variegation is typically caused by mutations in plastid DNA (more specifically, in the chloroplasts). this means that the mutation is passed on from the seed parent 100% of the time. Variegation in the pollen parent is not passed on.
Other types of mutations, which affect nuclear DNA, have a 50-50 chance of being passed on from either parent. |

They could be crossed, but due to chromosome numbers, the progeny would most likely be sterile. I would love to do some far flung intergenerics within the subtribe Aeridinae (Phalaenopsis, Vandas, Arachnis, Neofinetia, Trichoglottis, and Aerides, to name a few out of the 108 genera within this subtribe). |

I am thinking of doing that when I get my Tricho to bloom once I get it. The question is, though, what Phal would I use?

I am hoping that my Phal. venosa blooms at the same time, as I think that would be neat, otherwise, I will need a pollen donor!
