Damn things are actually pretty tough. I washed mine a couple of time and it still works!

Update 5.22.12

They are getting bigger and pigmentation and veining are more noticeable. Haven't lost one yet however I don't want to count chicks before the egg hatch.

I feed them with 1/4 strength of Dynagro. I never use RO water anymore and just use plain tap water. I think they like the calcium and magnesium in the water. I also feed with seaweed but not often. Maybe once or twice a month if I don't forget.

Thanks for the info. I need to separate my charlesworthii album seedlings and start feeding them I think.

 

[eggshells]

Yeah. I fed them right away when I deflasked them and treated them as an adult path which get fed the same amount and often as the other paphs. My experience with pure water isn't as good when I was watering with tap water so I came back to tap water. The leaves seems to be soft and droopy. The difference was noticeable right away when I switch to tap water. I think its because of the calcium and magnesium in tap water. Dynagro doesn't have that much calcium and magnesium compared to MSU. I just follow Leo's suggestion and not let them go dry to avoid salt build up. I am still unsure what effect would this be on plants in the long run but I have been using it for about a year on some other orchids and it seems to work so I think I'm going to stick with it at least for now.

Great job with the seedlings! They look excellent and show definite growth through the time.
I just bought my first flask too, but they are phals. I decided to start with something that I have more experience with.
Please put me on the list if you ever decide to sell any of yours.
Thanks

Thanks everyone, I didn't realize they grow quite quickly from flask. I was expecting slow growing so I'm quite pleased with the results.

Nice job eggshells, Very healthy younsters, although they look a bit lighter green than the last pics or is that the light? Also, what kind of bark is that?

Thanks Stone, It was the lighting. They are planted in a mix of fine fir bark, perlite and charcoal. I think they are douglas fir bark or whatever rexius use for their orchid bark.
