In August I got a flask of kovachii seedlings from Piping Rock. Well actually I got 2 half flasks. There has been a lot of comments about the specie seedlings being slow and difficult to grow. Although I see some difference in growth behavior from hybrids (non kovachii) I think they are growing well so far. It would be very good if others who also got kovachii flasks could share their progress, good or bad by adding to this thread. Here are pictures of my plants.
My seedlings were shipped deflasked.
I potted the 5 largest seedlings in S/H in 3 inch pots. Here is a growth comparison after one month.
Smaller single seedlings and clumps were planted into straight sphag.
This seedling had a ls of about 1+ inch. The root(s) were about half inch.
The top image is freshly planted and the lower image is the same plant after 32 days.
Here is a larger seedling which also had larger roots, The lower image is the same plant after 32 days of growth.
Here is a closeup of the largest seedling taken today after 6 weeks growth. Notice the new root growing at the base.
I appreciate any comments, questions or added information.
