When did this pollinization, or growing of plants in the laboratory, become feasible for people?

It was in the 1920’s when Dr. Louie Kanutzen from Cornell University succeeded with what he called his a septic culture of orchid seeds.

This process is when orchid seeds are grown in some kind of flask or dish with an egg or seaweed kind of a jelly that was previously used to cultivate bacteria.

Dr. Kanutzen used that technique to cultivate bacteria to spread orchid seeds and it succeeded.
