The pots are just regular pots. Whatever I have in hand. I just leave them where they are.

I did not spray and I had 100% survival rate on this particular flask. I gave all the other seedlings when they are about 4-5" leaf span so they are all well established and rooted.

Regarding the above which was quoted from your last post, when did not spray chemicals on this particular batch, but what did you mean when you said you "gave all other seedlings..."?

You gave them away or did you mean to say you gave them spray?

I gave them away to other people because I have no room for them anymore. I did not spray any type of insecticide/fungicide/bactericide or the likes on these plants.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

Have you used any chemicals to protect the seedlings coming out of flask before?

I wonder if I should spay mine (if I get some in the future) just to be on the safe side?

Have you done lots of deflasking? What do you recommend?

I deflasked a good number of species. Here are some and their survival rate. paph tranlienianum 80%, Paph hainanense 100%, Paph delenatii 80%, Paph anitum 0%, and bought some newly deflasked compots (because shipping is cheaper without glass bottles) 2 paph barbigerum about 80% each. And my friend gave me a compot of lockianum and lowii album. about 8 seedlings, Lost one each. So its normal to lose some seedlings. The ones that will grow will be great and robust.

Thank you for the info.

You never sprayed those either?

Other than that one group where non survived (I'm sorry to hear!), the survival rate is really high!

My Molly Ott is already pushing out a new leaf since it came to my apartment, which I am very happy with!

The whole thing is just so tiny but it has so many leaves, which are all about the same size. It is cute and all, but I am just curious if it is supposed to be this small or I have forever to wait until I see it flower.

I have seen a good number of Lynleigh Koopowitz and they all seem to be influenced by malipoense in regard to leaf size, large! delenatti is not so big although I have seen some large ones.
So the size of Molly Ott, which is a mix of Lynleigh K and delenatii, makes me wonder. I could not find any examples online either other than one vendor with a picture showing a seedling that looks just like mine, small.

I guess this is going to be the test of my patience, but I hope the reward will be good.

By the way, back to the flask topic, I would like to get some flask now and see how I will fare with the little plants.
