I got this from a website in Singapore.

First of all, is the link shown below is agar or medium for orchid seed growing in flasks?

If it is, which one shall I choose taking into consideration, I have not done any flasking yet.

These are good media formulations. These may or may not contain agar. if not, you just have to add it yourself. This site has the Knudson and Phytamax media. Both are fine, but may work differently with different orchids. Notice that MS is listed as a reference. Most of these are modifications of MS.

Germinate on these mentioned above. Re-plate on the "maintenace" media. The 1056 is good.
