seedlings are happy

About a month since deflasking, seedlings are happy... almost maintainence free. They have just been surviving on the water that run off from daily waterings of the orchids above when I go galavanting. The plastic covers are drilled with holes and the side of the containers are cut to allow for free air flow. holes drilled at the bottom of the container to allow for water to drain so the growing media is moist but not swimming in water. I prefer growing this way as compared to growing in open air compots as the original roots and weaker leaves do not dry up brfore new roots grow.  Next will be to start fetriliser and fungicide regime plus add some snail pallets, I can see some nibblings already.
