Paph. sanderianum flask

[orchidman77]

Finally got these deflasked! The cross is 'Red Delight' x 'Bionic Man' AM/CCE/AOS.

These are some of the best paph seedlings out of flask I've seen - strong, mostly the same size, perfect grassy green, and the leaves are remarkably firm/turgid. I got 25 good seedlings and about 9 more tiny ones that I planted just out of curiosity.

As always - small orchiata, moist and low light/fert for a month, KelpMax soak - can't wait to see these guys grow!!

Who did the flasking David?

 

[Clark]

Good luck with them.

Troy, I didn't leave agar on - I tend to separate at deflasking and get them on their own.

Sam Tsui flasked them! He had several interesting things in flask now.

Wonderful! It just occurred to me that when all are blooming size, assuming $500 average per plant, we're looking at around $20K worth of sandys here. Hmmm...retirement fund possibilities...

So after some brief web browsing, it seems like sanderianum is a 10-year wait from flask to bloom. Is this accurate?

I would like to have a sandy...

Beautiful babies. I have been debating on whether to purchase one of these from Sam and your photos have made that decision for me. Thank you for the push!

Yes.that is true

 

[Tom-DE]

10 years or longer, and that is assuming under good culture.

Good luck with them, David. At least the seedlings have the typical shiny leaves of sanderianum....trade away few if I were you, that way, you get back some of your investment.

Update:

Sanderianum seedlings are looking good! Growing slowly as advertised (and well-known)...but they seem healthy and happy.
