A  With a species you would need to make a pollination by taking the pollen off one open flower and placing it on the stigmatic surface of another. If you’re not sure where, get an old flower and poke around; you will soon find the bright yellow pollen under its little protective cap; just behind it is the moist sticky stigmatic surface. Also, many orchid books will have clear illustrations showing you where everything is. If you’re lucky and a capsule forms, wait at least six months and then send the capsule (called a seed pod) off for green-pod culture, which most labs prefer to do nowadays. The process is quite straightforward and interesting. In approximately nine to 12 months from when you sent the green pod away, your new babies should return. A word of caution: Try to find out if your phalaenopsis species is a good form of the species, with well-colored, large, shapely flowers, before you propagate it. A good form of the species takes no more bench space, fertilizer or care but the end result is much more satisfying.  — Andy Easton.
