Pollinate
So I decided to Pollinate 2 Phal flowers ( experiment ) after watching some You Tube videos. What am I to expect now? I know in few days she will swell somewhat. But I don't know if I'll see results this year on next batch of flowers? Thanks in advance for any info. ( ps- my Fav is the Salmon Phal Orchid- and a white and Yellow Phal )

If the seed pods take and don't abort, they should be mature enough to harvest in 5 months or so. Then you can sow the seeds in any number of ways. You can google sowing orchid seeds or search the threads here.

Thank You :)

You will probably have more luck sending the matured seed pods off to a lab to be sown ("flasking"), but this can turn out quite expensive, although you can sometimes do it yourself by using pressure cookers for autoclaves and improvising a glove box, this is quite a job...
Of course, doing it "right", getting a laminar flow bench, autoclave etc. etc. etc. will cost a lot more than sending off a couple of pods for flasking, but it is another fun aspect to the hobby if you're into that sort of mad scientist lab stuff. :) Good luck! |
