Will orchids bear seeds? What is the seed?

Orchids will bear seeds. Orchids' fruits are called orchids. Orchids are quadrangular in shape and green in color, with tens of thousands of tiny white powdery seeds inside.

The labellum is 3-lobed, and the base is sometimes 3-6 mm with the pistil; Lateral lobes are erect, often surrounded by pistil columns, and middle lobes are generally outward curved; There are two longitudinal pleats on the labial disc, extending from the base to the base of the middle lobe, sometimes the ends are enlarged or the middle part is broken;

The pistil is long, often bent forward, with wings on both sides, concave or sometimes short hairs on the ventral surface, 2 pollen balls with deep cracks, or 4 to form 2 pairs with different sizes, waxy, and connected to a nearly triangular sticky disk with a short and elastic handle of pollen balls.

Extended information:

Orchids are commonly used for branching, sowing and tissue culture and propagation. Orchid seeds are very fine, and there is only one immature embryo in the seed, so the germination ability is very low. In addition, the seed coat is not easy to absorb water, so it can not germinate by conventional sowing methods. Therefore, it is necessary to supply nutrients with orchids or artificial culture medium to germinate.

It's best to choose the fruit that hasn't cracked for sowing. After the surface is sterilized with 75% alcohol, take out the seeds, soak them in 1% sodium hypochlorite for 5-1 minutes, take them out and rinse them with sterile water for 3 times, and then sow them in a culture bottle with culture medium, and then put them in a dark culture room, and keep the temperature at about 25℃.

Protocorms can be formed after germination and then moved to light. It takes six months to a year from sowing to transplanting.
