Hello All from Singapore

[gddigger]

Hello All, I'm just starting off finally after so much procastination. Always wanted to have some orchids at home from the day I started asking my grandad for stalks of catelyas for my Valentine's date. He has passed on and unfortunately so did his orchids. I just got three tiny plants in the sterile plastic tubes with the nutrient gel, would appreciate any advice from here on... Thanks in Advance,
Cheers,
g

Welcome. I don't have any experience with deflasking seedlings, but there are plenty of websites with info on this.

Hi Gerneveyn, Thanks for reply.... a few links would save me much time rummaging thru archives, methinks this request has been heard many times already.
Cheers,

I'm sure a search on 'flask' should be pretty much on target. Our archives don't go back very far.

There's a orchid show in Singapore now from 16 Dec to 25 Dec. You should try to go if you have a chance. Here's a link http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/f...ks/orchid.html

gddigger,

Hello there....fellow Singaporean!!! I'm living in Upper Bukit Timah...what about you???

Just noticed your thread so i thought i'd butt in. I get a tons of seedling in bottles sent to me from Aust. Ian at speciesorchids.com does a great job.

I have tons of good expirience with this and in our climate (minus the rainy weather we've been having) seedling grow really well once we re-pot! I use spag moss and some LECA.... grow them semi hydro....FANTASTIC!

Wanna get in touch in Singapore, i'd be glad to show you the ropes to doing your seedlings and perhaps we could even exchange one or 2 of the seedlings!

Gimme a shout if you are interested
