Hi,

I already had some phal. seed pods, like to try flasking, can I use food jar for it?

Thanks.

Most sauce/jam jars are fine so long as there's enough of a thread on them to get a reasonable seal. Inserting a couple of disks of filter paper (eg coffee filter) on the inside of the lid will create a reasonably good vented seal that will keep out contamination.

I usually see flasked orchids sold from food jars...they are easy to sterilize and seal

I flask orchid seed in baby food jars with lids from Phytotech.
