OrchidWiz tells me 110-130 days for green pod harvest. Don't know how long for a mature pod. Good luck. This fascinating species should be much more widely propagated and distributed.

Does anyone know the seedpod maturation time for Esmeralda cathcartii?
Thank you

Thank you for the information. I hadn't thought to check Orchid Wiz. The pod was set about 6 months ago, and shows no signs of splitting, but will go ahead and harvest this week.
Yes, it deserves to be more widely grown. My two plants came from a group importation from Kalimpong, India, in 2002, and had never bloomed, until this year, when both did!
I have heard 150 days minimum for vandaceous, generally speaking.
Thank you, Gage.
