Growing Calopogon tuberosus from seed

[Linus_Cello]

Greetings!
So my grass pink, Calopogon tuberosus, has a seed pod. What's the best way to grow this from seed? What should I look for to tell that the seed pod is mature? How long will I have to wait until it becomes blooming size?
Thanks!

Look through the Orchid Flasking and Seed Germination forum, the one you posted this thread in (just click on the link for it in the cookie crumbs above) and you will find numerous threads on flasking. Give them a read and they'll give you an idea of what's involved. Let us know if you have questions.

I don't grow Calopogons but Cyp Havens site has a short article of Calopogon germination. If you are not interested in flasking, you might try sowing them around the mother plant. This is usually a more viable option for terrestrials than it is for epiphytes.

Thanks for the link! This is exactly what I was looking for. The plant isn't anything special (no need to flask); I'll try sowing the plant in a dry bog setting (spaghum and sand/silica mixture). Hopefully I'll have some seedlings to put in the bog garden next year.
