Hello everyone!

It' s a cross I made last year: Phal tetraspis X Phal bellina

OMG!!!!!! I WANT SOME SEEDLINGS!! The awesome thing is that I live in Canada!

Phalguy,
Could you outline how you sterilised the seed?
Are you talking about sealing the dry seed in a chamber with container of bleach + 3% 12N HCl? How long did you sterilise the seed for?

Thank you very much for showing your results with the technique of hypochlorite fumes.
I'm very happy, if you train with this technique, the contamination will be less and less

I've never seen pictures of the flasking process -- it looks very interesting! Thank you for those pictures.
