Orchid flask contaminated

[Silje]

Hi guys!

I went to Thailand on a holiday, and returned with a flask with vanda seedlings. Due to security control at the airport I had to put it in my checked in luggage, not my hand luggage. The result was that the poor seedlings got thrown around a lot. For a week or so, I've been trying to get the roots into the growth medium and the leaves out of it by turning the bottle. This morning, I saw a bit of mould or fungi starting to grow on the top.

I broke the bottle, thinking that there is no way those small seedlings will be able to co-exist with the mould in there.

But what to do now...? ideally, these seedlings should have probably stayed in the bottle for another 6 months or so....at least that's what the salesman told me.





What can I do to try to create a good growth environment for them and see if I can make them survive?

I have no idea what to do with them, and need advice on everything, from growth medium to single or community pot, bagged or in the open...?

Help.
