Hi, i have a seedpod from an orchid that i have brought back from Ecuador, and i wanted to know how i might be able to start these seeds, i have made some research but what i really need to know is what type of compound(Gel,etc) do i have to use in order to get my seeds started, and are these compounds organic? Well your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Exciting! Google "Orchid seedbank project" and you will find tons of information..another good resource is the Lotte and Thomas page (http://www.orchideenvermehrung.at/cgi-local/framebreaker/reload.pl?english/seed%20germination/intro%20germination.htm)

Do you know what kind of orchid this is?

The 'gel' is usually agar. You might want to check out Orchids From Seed for Pennies by CD Moulton, for a good casual book reference.
