Hello everyone!
A while back I was babbling about my first plant pregnancy and I could really use some guidance! Here are pics of the seedpods that I took yesterday. There are 2 on the same plant (from 2 different fathers...SCANDALOUS! lol)
How will I know when to harvest them. Should they reach a certain size?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Did you hand pollinate this phal?. do you remember the pollination date?. it is usually 110-120 days to mature. On maturity, the seed pod would have a golden yellow tinge and you should harvest before it breaks open.
Yep, hand pollinated! I actually had a spreadsheet of my attempts but it's on my computer that recently kicked the bucket. I think its been about 2 - 2.5 months at this point. I will keep an eye on it. I expect that it could take a little longer since there are 2 pods on the same plant. I imagine that has to expend a pretty substantial amount of energy.
