Flask-seedlings, my first project

[Rothrock42]

Thanks for all the info. I'm working up my nerve to get a flask and will have to get prepared.

How are they doing now?

I, too, am curious as to how they are all doing.

Oh, they are growing so slowly😜

Well, only three paph are alive and one of the others- so four left, all doing okay, but really really slow growing.

Will post picture later

The ones that are left are treated pretty much like my other orchids, so no special treatment anymore.

What killed the others were rot, if you have really healthy seedlings its pretty easy, but if they catch anything bad its really hard getting them back on track. (I dont have any chemicals or other stuff- maybe dragonblood could have saved some)

Vendor is coming here in the fall, so I might try again, maybe with some phalaenopsis.

Its fun though, and I think I have learnt something about orchids- mistakes are a great way of learning😎😜
