Dokmai Gardens blog entry on growing orchids from seed, flasking in your kitchen: How to grow orchids from seeds – kitchen style | Dokmai Dogma I used the "easy method" I referenced before (sticky on Orchidboard), but I did use the orchid medium referenced by Dokmai Gardens. If I were to change anything regarding their recipe, I would use slightly less water (maybe 95 to 97 percent of the recommended water). I might also add a tiny amount of fertilizer, like 1/8 teaspoon per gallon of pure water and use that water to make up the agar.

If you are going to flask some orchid seeds yourself, better find some seeds quickly! It takes a long time for seeds to mature for most species, and it can take a long time for seed to develop in flask. Maybe you can get some guidance form you local orchid society members regarding what seeds to try (some types germinate and develop faster than others). Someone may be able to provide seed that is already mature.

Good luck with your experiment and your paper!

Thankyou so much! I'll check out the links and give it a go for sure )
