Okay, all of my flasking insanity together. For future de-flaskers
This was the beginning of my Flasking experiments; I was asked to post all of them together so that anyone who may be interested in de flasking. Could look at this and get ideas.
Sorry not all the original pictures will be on here.
Okay lets start with the whole WTH was I THINKING!!!
Then lets go with do I have any idea what I am doing? NOO
Then lets now go with I have fabulous people on the OB who can possibly help me with my ummm insanity..
How do I deal with these guys the cross are:
Orchid Flask C. aclandiae X Schomb. christinae Spectacular cross.
Here are the instructions given to me...is this accurate enough....
Plants should be removed from flasks immediately. Shipping will
cause scrambling of the plants and the agar, which can burn the
plants if not removed from the flask immediately. Also
contamination can occur that will kill the plants.
Carefully break flask or remove plants roots first with tweezers or
with a wire hook.
Wash plants with plain water to remove all agar.
Leave clumps together and plant as one - can be separated later-
smaller plants will usually die if separated from clump.
Pot large plants individually in 2 or 3" pots, pot smaller plants in a
community pot or in a tray.
Use sphagnum or seedling mix with good drainage.
Water plants thoroughly after planting to clean medium.
Then spray pots, medium and plants with a fungicide/bactericide.
Resume normal watering - once a day or every other day.
Fertilize every two weeks with a water soluble balanced fertilizer.
Repeat spraying with fungicide/bactericide every 3-4 weeks.
Plants should be kept in 75-80 % shade with high humidity.
What I wound up doing was NOT using the fungacide on it they still seem to be doing okay. thus far.
