| While I agree with Ellen to be wary about buying flasks from e-bay, however I've actually had very good expiriances with many growers that sell on e-bay. You want to be able to see a pic of the flask if they're selling to see how big the plants are and aprox. how many plants there are. Are the plants big enough to survive being shaken around during shipping?
I started buying flasks VERY shortly after starting to grow mature orchids. It is a strange process and takes some time if you're putting them in plug trays, and less time if putting them into community pots. Personally I've had really good results from individual plug trays, and pretty good results from community pots. I've never had much trouble with flasks. I've heard people in this site talk about flasks like it's the last thing you want to try, however I've found it quite fun and rewarding. |
