Thank you for the photos. I've never tried growing orchids
from flask, but I might try one now that I've seen the process...or maybe I'm too old to see the finale.

try Maudiae type flasks first. I think they grow the fastest.

Nice seedlings and very nice and informative step-by-step pictures of your deflasking. Seems easy, except the separating part.

What does the dolomite granules do?

 

[raymond]

you add lime to paph lowii I thought the lowii had not received calcium

 

[Paphman910]

What does the dolomite granules do?

Paph stonei is found on limestone cliff so adding dolomite simulate that condition for this species.
