Selling seedlings to cover costs
 

Hey all you propagators out there! :waving HELP! I just can't control myself, and keep buying flasks. I think to myself, "ooo, I like that one" but then I wind up with WAY too many!:shock: So I posted some classifieds to try to downsize, cover some costs, and spread the wealth a little. I got them all from AJ at the Orchid Seedbank Project. Great flasks! I recommend him.

I listed them for $1 each, and I'll toss in an extra just for insurance. It doesn't get much cheaper than that! (and plants don't come much smaller either) I would have thought there would be more of you that would love to get a few seedlings without having to buy the whole flask, but so far I haven't gotten that much interest.:scratchhead:

So, I figured I'd post a thread here just to 'shake the tree' so to speak. Some of you may never even look at the classified section, but I know you love seedlings! :evil:

I have a few others that I didn't post, plus I have a few more coming.:roll: Let me know if you're interested.

Later,

The price sure sounds right, even if you've never tried seedlings or propigating. My question is seedlings of what? Is it a surprise? Is it a certain type of orchid? Excuse my ignorance but I don't know anything about flasks or anything. Im lucky I got my children dressed for school. Pics?

No, it's not a surprise. I have a couple of ads posted in the classified section of the OB. You can go check out the photos of what I have there. I have a bunch of the Gongora chocoensis and Oncidium sphacelatum. There are fewer left of the Cattleya deckeri, as I sold 5 already. I do have a few others (a few Stanhopea, Cats, Laelias) but not tons, so I didn't post ads for them.

If you wanted to try your hand at seedlings, this is a good opportunity to give it a whirl without having to buy a whole flask (or three or four). If you want something small but a little easier, try a few of the SLC Jewel Box clones. They are a bit older and stronger at this point.

Yeah, I thought the price was right, but maybe people are skeptical when it's so low. I do know that you can't go anywhere and get four different orchids plus shipping for a ten spot. Oh well. They'll find a home eventually.

Thanks I'll go check out the ad.

What other Laelias will you have available? :hmm
Is Catt deckeri an easy bloomer?
Inquiring orchid minds want to know :coverlaugh:

Have any mini or small growers?

Which laelias do you have?

I placed my order ;)
