Viateur, We are successfully propagating, in-vitro, several species of Pecteilis including Pecteilis susannae. I presented a lecture about propagating Tropical Terrestrial Orchids at the WOC in Vancouver- see Proceedings (this is also available as a download in PDF format form our Website). We have been actively propagating terrestrials species both temperate and tropical for almost 12 years. Check our Website and you will find resources for culture of species in the terrestrial subtribes Spiranthinae and Goodyerinae. I also know of growers/researchers in Europe and Australia who are growing similar terrestrial orchids from seed. I agree strongly with your warning about being careful about buying these plants. Check your sources and ask the right questions and go with your gut feelings. If you buy from people who are actually growing and propagating these plants they can give you cultural advise, dealers don't care if they live or die. You should be able to tell the difference. Just thought you should know.
