really needs to re-potted ..... fast draining is almost a requirement for a long lived plant
gather what you need first - bear in mind - if you cant find all that stuff - substitute or leave it out ....
a quick and easy potting tip:
find a small bag of orchid mix, (found at most big box stores) has most of the ingredients i listed ...in fact, its what i used at the start
2 items that i forgot to add is perlite and lump charcoal ....
cut off seed-pod ? ...depends
still a chance you can collect some seed
seed pods mature in about 70 days ..... and they go through all kinds of colors during those 70 days ...from green to purplish to tanish to brownish .....
when seeds pods are about to open, they form a split or crack along its length ...and gradually "peel" themselves back & open sort of like a banana
if there is any "color" left ...leave on plant ...if there is a crack ...leave on plant ..
if dead & dried up ...they might fall off all by themselves
