Deflasking Dendrobium munificum
 

Hello. First of all, I appreciate many invaluable posts on this board. I learned a lot.

New to orchids, although cultivating wild plants (especially alpine/rock garden plants) has been my hobby for >30 years.

I deflasked Den. munificum on Feb. 8.

The seedlings are in sphagnum moss in a plastic strainer. Since planted, I keep them with no dome to target ~80% humidity.

As of today, I do not see any new growths. Given that it is still winter, this may be expected?

Welcome!

Orchids grow slowly. (And Dendrobium/Inobulbon munificum is fairly slow even by orchid standards) Patience. The plants look healthy. A couple of weeks is nothing in the life of an orchid.

Thanks a lot for your input.

Good to know that this is a slow grower even for an orchid species.

I will be learning patience from Den. munificum.

I think you made a smart choise to start by unflasking, and it should give you a plentiful start. Sure wish you luck, looks great so far. If I havent said already WELCOME
Be seeing you!

Welcome!
