Very informative article, thanks. I do have one question. I grow species and primary species Phalaenopsis and Cattleya orchids. You discussed the time of 6-12 months from pollination to mature seed pod and the few days to many months for germination but how long does it take to get from germination to roots that are ready for a community pot.
