Sowing Cypripedium formosanum seeds

[Mafate]

Hello all,

My Cypripedium formosanum is preparing seed-pods for the first time and I would like to sow the seeds. I have never done this before, so I need your help and have some questions:

- How long before the seed-pods are mature?
- What material do I need to sow the seeds?
- How should I proceed?

In advance, thank you very much for your help.

Best regards.

Unfortunately I have no experience with Cyps but I know that apart of media that is very important,the clue for good germination is the timeing in harvest the unripe seedpod.
Shurly we have BIG experts here so .....

Hi valenzino, thank you for your answer. I look forward to hearing from experienced sowers as soon as possible, because I will have to buy all the necessary material to proceed (flasks, media, etc.) and I can see the fruits becoming bigger and bigger everyday, so I don't know if I have lots of time in front of me...

So please, any help would be really appreciated.

Best regards.
