Wow.. thank you so much!!🙏 Now I know how pollinating works!

Very helpful to see examples in different stages, thanks for sharing! And girl..your nailss!

Video is awesome! I failed miserably the last time I tried pollination because I didn't know what I was doing. Btw your nails are so pretty.

Awesome, I hope you do a video, explaining how we do to germinate the "seeds"

Brittany great video love love love the tutorial kept me interested the whole way through. Its so cool to see a tutorial like this !

Wonderful idea great video. Thanks for sharing.

Yes! Please do more of these :)

Will do!!!

Great video!

😘Thanks a lot. Is easy to understand..

Definitely a thumbs up here. But, after there's a seed-pod - is it absolutely necessary to use equipment like laminar flow hoods etc to grow the seeds? Are there any super basic ways to grow the seeds without laminar flow hoods for cases where low success rate is tolerable?

I wasn't going to watch this video, but I am glad I did. Very interesting. Now I am beginning to see how orchids are name tagged. Have you made a video and understanding orchid tags? They seem to be confusing to read or understand. Thanks Brittany.

Pollinating and hybridizing your own plants sound so cool! ^^ I can't wait to try it out when some of my plants are in bloom. Do you have any recommendations for labs?

how do you spell the name of that cattleya its absolutely beutiful and i would love to get one

Sound was ok turned to full volume, just sounded a bit vintage lol. A very interesting video, Brittany What will you do with the pod when there fully developed and ripe, Will you send them away to be flasked ? Keep us updated on there progress TFS :-)

As I'm moving this year I will probably send it off to a lab and have them flask it. I dont want to mess with sterile equipment and baby plants when I move house lol

Thanks for doing this video, i was actually looking for a cattlya polination tutorial in you tube and there wasn't a good one! good step by step guide! I also didn't know you can store the pollen?! don't they die?/or lose their ability to work? how long you can store them for?

How do you know when the seed pod is ready for germination?

Hi Brittany, I watched your video from a while back addressing Catasetums coming out of dormancy. I was wondering what you usually do when they are done growing, when the leaves drop. Like when you know to remove them from the pot and store them while dormant?

Are you going to grow them from seed?

Thank you so much for the tutorial. That pod is huge. It will be great to see follow up video of the pod. When it's ripe, will it shrink or stay the same size?

When its ripe it will change color, but it won't start shrinking until it begins to dry up. This pod still has a few more months before that happens though.

Oh my goodness. I have fallen in love with orchids, but I am a true beginner. I only have 3 Phalaenopsis. I would like to get another type of orchid. What would you suggest for a beginner growing inside.

I've been thinking about doing this with one of my Cattleyas when it finally decides to bloom =) Do you have a lab you recommend for flasking?

Hi Brittany, I have a question: do you use a special osmocote for your catasetum orchids or it's just "random" osmocote, the one you would use for roses, hyacinths, and so on? I ask this because I have seen that some vendor on ebay sells Osmocote "for orchids", and maybe catasetums would work well with normal osmocote....

Awesome and beautiful demonstration :) What do you ultimately do with the seeds, when all goes as planned? Thanks.

I will send them off to a lab more than likely. I'd love to do my own flasking, but this year may be tricky with moving and such.

Hi brittany, do you do your own flasking and re plating?

I have plans to do my own, but haven't done one before. Im still debating whether or not I will start with the pod I have or send that one to a lab and wait till I make another cross to start flasking my own.

My son in law has just set up a lab in his garage and is doing it for a leading grower here. Maybe you would like to exchange info, He is also doing the orchid judges course here. He is very knowlegeable.Let me know if you want his email

Where are you Brittany?

I love your channel! I just subscribed with this channel, but have been watching you for so long on my other youtube channel! I actually contacted you a awhile ago on facebook. Anyways, my channel is not a plant only channel, but every monday I will be doing an orchid video.. could you possibly check my newest video out, you only need to watch first 1-2 minutes. I would love any feed back , since you are my orchid inspiration, and you truly are the orchid queen

+LevelD1985 I pollinated them for funsies just to see what would happen. now that the pod is formed I will probably send it off to a lab. I will be moving to a new state this year so I don't want to flask it myself just yet.
