went ahead and reserved a tigrinum flask from Sam...are these guys hard to grow from flask?
they are supposed to be extremely difficult to establish out of flask
Good Luck! You've got the experience, keep us posted!
I had no luck myself. Sam told me he can't grow them from flask. He also told me he would sell the flasks for more but doesn't because he knows how high the mortality rate will be.
For $250, I think it's still expensive. I guess one is paying for the rarity of it. I would like to try to grow it warm given the chance but I don't think I could spend $250 for an experiment as of right now.
Wish the best of luck for ehanes though. I thought the seedlings were a bit small and might still need a 2-3 months prior to deflasking. Please keep us updated though.
So if they were ready in december, I would leave them in bottle till about March. That way when you take them out and start watering they would be on track seasonally. When they are deflasked late fall or winter and you try to establish them in thier dry season I think the mortality rate is higher. My tigrinums seem to lose roots and do poorly when I watered and/or kept them warm in winter. Keep them cool and dry in winter they explode in spring and don't blast. Just my opinion.
what is considered 'cool' nights to you?
