1st Flask

[Tom499]

I am looking at attempting flasks for the 1st time.

I have found this supplier in the UK http://www.mcbeansorchids.co.uk/acatalog/Paph_flasks.html

I cannot find any info on those crosses, other than I they will be Maudiae type.

I plan on using a shallow tray (food container) with LECA, and some form of dome lid with a heat pad underneath.

I'll be on hand to spray water (rain water) them daily until their roots get growing.

I plan to keep them near a window, but not in direct sunlight.

Will I need to apply any form of fertiliser?

I plan to soak the LECA in superthrive and Akerne MSU beforehand.

[Tom499]

Hello valenzino.

I know both of those species are very nice!

However I have not done flasks before, and do not want to kill expensive plants.

But maybe in the future after I have success I would be interested.
