Paphiopedilum Jade Dragon flask

[scottbjd]

Here is an update on a flask that I got a little over a year ago from OrchidInn.
The info from Sam is as follows:
(OIV0152 Jade Dragon (malipoense 'Twin Tower' x fairrieanum 'Red Glory')) Red Glory is from our FCC strain with very dark red color. We hope for well colored Jade Dragon.

The roots were dense so I kept the seedlings together and they grew very well, there are 22 in total! Excited to see how they will grow, I expect that they will get huge!
Photos: freshly opened flask, 1 week post potting, 6 months, 15 months, separated and sorted, newly potted up!

It looks like they are making great process.

Great outcome so far! You rooted them wonderfully.

You have done very well.
Did you remove the 'stiff' agar from the roots when deflasking?

They were of good size in the flask and have grown big fast!!
Good batch for sure in that regard.
A small number of Jade Dragon I have seen in bloom were all rather compact. I would think 3-4 of the largest seedlings you have are near blooming size.
I made a similar cross, Norito Hasegawa x fairrieanum. They have been good growers. Looking forward to seeing some in bloom in the next two years or so.

You are a good grower! My Paph. niveum flask that I got last year is growing really well!
