Psygmorchis pusilla seed pod maturity time!!!

[King Kjeldz]

Recently i found several Psygmorchis pusilla plants on a property of a vacation home in the country side...growing on some crotons....this plant has become rare in my country because it grows on cocoa and coffee trees and when these trees are pruned these tiny things are destroyed...i selfed a flower in situ and the seedpod took...the only problem now is....how long does it take to mature so i can harvest for green pod culture???? i cant seem to find maturity dates anywhere..PLEASE HELP!!

don't know but I searched and couldn't find anything either. How often do you get there? If frequently you can just watch for signs of maturation. Possibly contact someone like Troy Meyers and see if he would know

King if I'm using green seed pod to sow usually 4 months is more than enough especially for Phalaenopsis, for Rudofiella species I noticed almost 6 to & 8 months, this miniature maybe between 4 to 5 months in nature as a result due to changes in climate.

thank you very much everyone...i now have 3 flasks off seedlings from the same pod .........it took 110 days to change colour...so i harvested it...some of the plants are now a centimetre in length...Troy Meyers was very helpful with a guidline of 153 days but since my climate is different i had to monitor it daily...the plants are alive on their original twig and doing well and flowering
