seed germination

[kaiha]

I tried my hand at flasking, and had the Cattleya Jenmanii germinate. I seeded them the first week of Aug. I thought I wasn't going to see anything then a couple of weeks ago I saw a couple of green spots.

I have nothing in the other flasks of Cattleyas that I can see, maybe I will have to wait a little longer. I think it might be a bit cool for them, I try to keep them above 70 but that can be a challenge. I am happy with the Jenmanii germinating.



Thanks Barb

WOOOHOOOO! Congrats Barb! That is awesome!
Post pictures of your little babies when they are large enough to see.

Congrats again!

Congratulation. Take some pictures for fun... Transfer to a new medium when the protocorms have 2 leaves and roots.

I will post some pics when they are a bit bigger, I don't think they will be big enough for a while. Thanks for the advice on the 2 leaves, I would have been on line asking more questions, probably will be anyway. Reflasking is where I am afraid I might have problems.

Wow Congratulations! Did you prepare your own medium?

Yes I made my own medium, I believe I used the recipe that was posted on this board.
