orchids mating

so I introduced male to the female and the male sits on her since yesterday when he'll get to business?

Just leave them be. He will get to bussiness when he is ready. These guys can just sit there for long periods of time. I have a male that has been sitting on my females back for two weeks now. Every few days i find them connected. Just be patient.

Be sure the female is well fed....or else your male will be her food source!!!

That is no guarantee at all.

Just keep waiting or you can blow on him with a sharp breath. Often that will trigger him to get moving. I woudl probably try another day.
