Deflasking the seedlings

Deflasked the seedlings this morning. The whole process is not too difficult. These came in flasks so they can easily be taken out. If they had been grown in bottles I would have to break the bottles before I can remove them. Next steps involve washing of the agar growing medium followed by a wash with fungicide. After air drying they are ready to be planted, I am using live spaghnum moss.

This looks really interesting and tempting....

I have been reading about this ....  http://megathrive.com/   looks really interesting. I am going to see if I can get hold of some to try.

Phalaenopsis appendiculata

I got a few of these from a Malaysian vendor few months back. Now established they are starting to bloom. I am hoping to be able to do some crossings with them.
