i always figured if i ever had a seed pod i'd just let it dehisc into a plastic baggie containing damp sphag (some of which was pulled from existing pots to hopefully get some of the mychoryzawhatsis fungus on it) and leave it in indirect light for a year and see if anything would happen.
i don't remember if i've told this story before, but al down in leesburg had a peristylis elata (sp?) dehisc in the greehouse in front of a fan; 18 mos later he had baby orchids growing out of everything: potted orchids, orchids in baskets, bark, sphag, the gravel walkways..... so it can't be that hard.
