Okay here is the final flask orchids for the rest of the year until these guys are ready to be sold or given away...which judging by these last two sets I got today will not be an issue. This is the final set and what they should look like is my avatar picture. Another AMAZING SET! They are bigger than the schomburgkia "seedlings" I got already un-flasked a few months ago wowza out of this batch I say I had way more than the 25-30 that the flask was supposed to have had. I think I actually may have closer to 40 of them all in in Large community pots with VERY healthy root systems not an ounce of rot to be found!!! this final batch is called:
Blc. Chia Lin 'New City' AM/AOS, they are so large they are already being moved out into the green house into hanging baskets. I decided to go ahead and place them in a dendrobium mix since they are so large I am afraid that they would rot in the moss if I tried.
Pictures to follow.

Wow… you're making me want to try this. It looks like a fun project! Wish I had the space, because I really don't, at least not until I convince my hubby to relocate to Florida so we can build a green house in the back yard that won't be a fire hazard.

I honestly had no idea that these last two batches would be this large. I figured 1/2 would be crap and the other half tiny....no idea I would have quite this many uh avid growers haha

Okay slight update. I mounted a few of the much much larger blc. Chia lin *new city*. On a small enough mount that as they grow outwards I can mount them onto a bigger mount and let them continue 2 grow.
I am slightly unsure about the catasetum babies their leaves are wilting but the babh phulbs and their roots are fat and light bright green...I have them in the plastic pots still and see the moisture on the sides...so it is not a humidity issue. Nor are they cold they are sitting on a cake cooling rack next to my tortoises terrarium and a heat bulb which keeps the glass warm and the babies are warm as well.
