Finally Deflasked!
 
I've been so so lazy with my flask of paph. Doll's Kobold that some of the seedlings started to turn clear brown and die.
So I finally put my butt in gear and deflasked it a few days ago.

I did not separate the seedlings at all. just soaked and washed off what comes off and then poked some more very carefully using toothpick. lol

I think I might have accidentally speared through some roots or plants. oops!

Now twenty something baby plants are all sitting in and on top of seedling grade orchiata mix, which is sitting on top of small grade bark and again which is sitting on top of clay balls. all in 5 in clear plastic pot.

This is under my LED light, but I do take it out to the natural light during the day if I can, in hopes of UVA killing off some germs and strengthening the seedlings.
:)

Other than watering being pain in the butt, so far so good.

I hope most, if not all, survive till next spring when I plan to separate out the biggest ones.

Thanks, I hope so!

These are surprising strong. already pushing new leaves and roots, no death so far. lol
