My new babies!

[Shiva]

From Zephyrus Orchids.

The flask is stonei 'Giant Red' x sanderianum 'Rapunzel' AM/AOS (Sander's Pride).
The compots are Kolosand 'Zephyrus Tan Dragon' HCC/AOS x Sander's Pride 'Zephyrus Cheetah'

I only paid for the compots and the flask is a very gracious gift. I must be a good customer. :noangel:

 

[NYEric]

Good stuff. Good luck growing.

Sweet, I too got a freebie from John. Second compot of barbigerum or coccineum.

Is that Diatomite for a Media ?

Is that Diatomite for a Media ?

The seedlings are potted in Aussie Gold Mix and I put a layer of small diatomite chips to keep them from floating up when I water.

 

[Justin]

nice additions. Will be great (and big) when they grow up.

 

[SlipperFan]

Look at all that space!

 

[Shiva]

Look at all that space!

For now, yes, but when they all grow up..., I'll need a bigger house or a big orchid surplus sale.

I thought of that! But it's good you have space for them to grow. I don't dare buy a flask at this point….

 

[W. Beetus]

Those look very healthy!

 

[Clark]

They will look great when they start poppin'.

Nice gift!

 

[Ozpaph]

I don't dare buy a flask at this point….

Go on. You know you want to.:evil::evil::evil:

 

[SlipperFan]

Go on. You know you want to.:evil::evil::evil:

A compot, maybe...

 

[chrismende]

Those are going to be fabulous plants when they reach adulthood!

 

[Susie11]

Lot's to look forward to. Lucky you.

 

[Shiva]

The flask is now two compots. This is Sander's Pride.

Didn't use anything but tepid sterile water to unflask them. Many will die but the strongest will survive. I'll probably use a product called ''No Damp'' in case of infection. Of course, more small diatomite chips to help keep the plants in place.

They'll spend some time under a plastic dome and over a warming mat until they're strong enough to join the others. Fingers and toes crossed.

In the past, when we started seeds in the basement for the garden, I used chamomile tea for that ugly mold we would always get.
No fans, cool, damp, blah, blah, blah.

Had a problem with flask of Phrag. pearcei, and beat that mold down with spray bottle of tea.

just saying.

 

[Paphman910]

Wow! They look nice!
