Seed pods do form, but I do not think they are viable at all. If that was the case, I would have noticed a volunteer plant or two somewhere nearby, but nothing ever since they came to me [via a local friend]. Recently, I have noticed tiny volunteers from another orchid I have - Epidendrum radicans - glad I recalled the name so easily - in a nearby pot. I thought they were weeds but the leaves were tough! That's when I left them there. Have to confirm further. But this is rare too. The spathoglottis slowly multiply their bulbs [is that the right name?]. Last season, I tried to change pots and added some charcoal and coco fibre and less of soil. But it did not do that well. It pains my eye when I see someone growing in pots on balconies which some hired gardener takes care...... blooming in profusion!! Wonder if they put some inorganic manure, which I do not do. There is another variety I have whose leaves are very similar to the spatho, but the flowers are shaped differently. I was not able to identify that. I'll see if I can dig up that photo. I think it blooms in December/January.

Florida and Mysore [since this month it has been officially renamed as 'Mysuru'] have very similar vegetation.
