How Do I Plant Orchid Seeds? How Old Can They Be And Still Be Viable?

Question

I have orchid seeds for phalaenopsis and the Luna Orchid. I got them on line from China (I know!). I want to know first if I should bother with them – they are 1 year old; and second, how do I plant the seeds? Thank you

Answer 1

Unfortunately, outside of a laboratory, this is not easy. Some would consider it impossible. I, myself, have a lab, and have not attempted this. I do work with the fungi that help them to germinate but have not messed with orchid seeds. This would be the reason that orchids can be very expensive.
