Adventures in Flasking

they look great! keep it up!

[Dorchid]

Thanks! I have another flask with some larger plants and plan to reflask to new medium before they come out to see if I can get one more growth spurt out of them.

Fantastic work, your plantlets are looking so beautiful!

Two questions for you: what is the Leo x Dragon Cross? And, what is the coerulea bifoliate x Dark Red bifoliate?

Love what you're doing. I'm definitely going to send you some pods as soon as I can get a pod to hold to maturity - none of mine have made it though several formed pods initially.

[Dorchid]

Thanks! My space is fairly cool...usually below 70F and I think it is slowing growth speed but other than that, I'm happy.


Leo: C. Leoloddiglossa f. coerulea 'SVO Speckled Blue' FCC/AOS x C. Little Leopard f. coerulea 'Nite Shade'
Dragon (I believe this is the name given to this cross): LC. Waianae Blaze 'Sweetheart' x C. Chocolate Drop 'SVO' AM/AOS

For the most part, I've had success with plants seeing their capsules through to maturity but have had a few abort...likely due to a plant being too small, inadequate water or conditions too hot.

Thanks for sharing!

I think I need to water more frequently in my tent; they're healthy and growing but sometimes get a little too dry between waterings. We'll see how this growing season goes!

Just made a bunch xfers.

Leo x Dragon. 2 flasks and 6 plates

Phals 2 flasks.

Inobulbum munificum. 2 flasks from a mother plate that was packed…just scoop and drop.

All look gorgeous! Inobulbon munificum has turned into a lawn. Superb performance, well done!

[Dorchid]

Things looking good.

[Dorchid]

Moved first deflasked orchids to the tent and they seem happy. Deflasking the rest today as they’re not doing much in the flask at this point.


Some variegation on this G. aurantiaca:

Those are all looking great!
