Phal. Baldans Kaleidoscope deflasked update

[Ron]

Hi all.
With the current interest in deflasking orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, I have attached some photos of my Phal. Baldans Kaleidoscope I deflasked back in early May this year.
Currently they are enjoying the warmer spring weather in my green house.
As a result of this, they are now growing quiet quickly and looking very well.
They are in 3 inch clear pots and CoCo Nuggets size 12 to 18 mm.
Nothing else has been added to the mix.

To me, by buying flasks and growing them on not only give me inexpensive plants but a lesson in how to grow from small plants to flowering.
To follow the growth process and learn from mistakes without costing the earth.
The photo of the flowers is what I hope to see this time next year 2010

Good growing
Ron

Those plants look super fantastic. Are you starting up a business of selling them or are you just trying to surround yourselves with loads of wonderful phal "pals"?
Having a warm humid greenhouse and the warm weather coming on sounds like a GREAT asset at this stage in their development. I'm 3-4 months behind you in development and mine are taking the challenge of a non-humid house environment and cool weather coming on! Plug in the heater and lights and hope for the best!

I plan to fill up the orchid house with at least 3 plants of each mericlone and some seedlings.
This should give me flowers all the year around, I would love to start up a business but age and ill health has got the best of me, this is the next best thing.
Some go as birthday presents and xmas presents (Cheep present), some do get sold to friends but most stay as showing off to me each time I visit the green house.
Cheerio

Ron, those are real nice. I love the pictures they are so healthy. I am going to try the CoCo nuggets the next time I repot all my phals. You have done a great job . Thanks for sharing with us

They look great. I was going to ask what the heck you'd do with all of them but you already have a plan.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, my wife has a plan also, each time one is in flower they get cut off and into her vases. I tell her if she loves them so much I will buy some more plants for her to cut flowers off.
Works!!!

You are a very good sport to allow orchid clipplings in a vase. A very good sport.
