Some seedling progress

[Karp60]

Getting close now. The largest Chiu hua dancer x st swithin is pushing a second growth, the largest Wössner Kolorand x roth is 2 ft across.

Finally have all the thai x suk potted up, some flasks were much too rooty to separate. View attachment 30805 View attachment 30806 View attachment 30807 View attachment 30808

A year later and many are starting to push new leads, so I'm guessing spikes could happen any time now.

 

[tnyr5]

Heh, well, I was right. 3 visible new leads and a 4th peeking out of the next leaf up, plus what appears to be a spike is pushing up inside that small leaf in the crown. 1 year & 1 month from deflasking, about 2 years & 3 months from pollination. A few others look like they will spike in the next month, too.

Roots on my thaianum x Hellas flasklings.

Better put those roots back! The leaves really need them!

No choice. Flask roots don't die in compot for me; they get ever more hopelessly entangled.

Orchiata, rexius bark, charcoal, perlite, silica sand & oyster shell.

What size/grade for the barks?
-Patrick

 

[tnyr5]

The most correct answer is: what I have available at the moment, lol.
But it's mostly medium grade with a top dress of smaller stuff.

 

[Ozpaph]

they are might healthy seedlings. The cross should be very interesting

 

[tnyr5]

That's not mold, it's hundreds of Ophrys.

 

[tnyr5]

Deflasked the rest of the thaianum x Hellas

 

[richgarrison]
