Good luck.
Id cut off the brown leaf parts now - looks like hot or cold damage. Could be a nidus for infection.

Lovely new babies! They look happy in their new home.

Newbie question: I bought my first flask and will be deflasking tomorrow. They came in the same type of flask bottle. Did you have to break it or could the seedlings come out through the top of flask?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks everyone. Perhaps we will see the flowers 10 years from now.

Just break the glass at the bottom. Careful on the broken glasses. Submerged in water so the broken glass pieces sinks to avoid cutting your hand.

Take out the cork.
Gently place a large, long bolt through the opening, through the media, against the bottom of the flask.
wrap flask in newspaper.
strike the end of the bolt (the end out through the top of the flask) with a hammer
the bottom comes off the flask.
gently wash in water to remove any glass shards and dispose of the contaminated water carefully.

So, he is back:evil: thought they had stopped him selling these things? Very tiny though, wonder if they survive for long:sob:

Eggshells, looks great a pity that we are so far apart if it is 'Formosa' growth should be fine, just look out for rot of various kinds.
