I have been looking at info on Dendrobium seed and there has not been a lot of info so it leads me to ask a question and get my info checked out as well.

So a Dendrobium seed pod produces 1 to 2 million seeds?

With other fine seeds I have mixed them with sand to get a good spread without over seeding an area.

How do you get Dendrobium seed in good (not over crowded) number into any given flask situation?

Can see that a mixture(?) that seed is added too and housed into a syringe for a portion delivered but how does it spread around the jar?

Very much a newbie question but I am on the trail! :)

Sorry about that!

Well looks like I have asked the impossible question so I will have a go at answering it!

A small pinch of sterilised seed with sterilised gloves on and sprinkle a very small amount seed over grow gell.

Or mix a small amount of seed in a grow gel that will accept a bit of water and rinse the water and seed around on top of gel until a good coverage takes place.
