Deflaskin a Miniature
Default Deflasking a Miniature

I am getting a flask of Trisetella hoeijeri in a couple weeks. I have deflasked larger plants years ago, but this will be my first attempt with a miniature. My plan is to do the following:
  1. Clear Shoe box with a 2” layer of small Leca,
  2. on half I will add a layer of New Zealand Sphagnum 1” deep, set half the seedlings on the moss and cover over the roots with some chopped up Sphagnum.
  3. I will put up the others into small 2” net pot compots in sphagnum. Then set those in the other side of the shoe box directly on the Leca.
  4. Place a heating mat (temperature controlled) under the box to keep it around 75 degree Fahrenheit (24C) minimum.
  5. Light it with 6500K artificial light (low lighting) for the first couple of months and slowly move it up to Medium Light.
  6. Also, slowly add holes in the lid over the first couple months.
Any of you experts with experience deflasking, especially with miniatures, have a different recommendation or suggestions?
