You can grow orchids from seed as an amateur but it's not easy and growing
them on in a sterile flask takes a long time and very careful handling, it
gets more difficult when you try to get them out of the flask and into
growing medium. Been there done that and failed every time.

How do they manage in the wild then?
Do they germinate in symbiosis with a fungus like temperate orchids?

Yes.
