For Oncidium, Trichocentrum, and Oncidium x Trichocentrum I grow the
pods for seven months in the summer. The lab often says there pods are
immature but succeed in growing plants. If I wait longer than seven
months in the summer, the pods often split open.  In the winter, the
pods rarely split at seven months but I harvest them any way.
