In any case, if the pollen flower has not matured, the crossing will be germ-free (Fertilized).After pollination, the orchid plant should be dried out a little bit and removed to a better sheltered place of the greenhouse. In case of any phosphorus deficiency, immediate care and caution should be taken for supplementary feeding. During the process of gardening, microscopic study can steadily define the fertility process. This helps to keep a track of the progress. Sterilization process with three percent solution of Hydrogen Peroxide can be very good for the Orchid?s growth. Small tubes may be used for better protection of the seeds.
