I too have never had any success with bag-n-spag. I haven't mentioned this before but I am currently experimenting with a wet paper towel technique on one of my paphs that turned up rootless. We'll see how that goes.

I, too, am in the process of using the moss in a baggie method for a blue violacea seedling that I got from Orchidview a few months ago. It's been in the bag almost three weeks with no activity at all. I've been soaking in a rooting solution with sugar once a week. I'll be interested to see the responses from this thread in case the bag method just doesn't work.

I have used & still use this method ...It's a question of trial & error... When I first tried I ended up rotting & killing the plants. I have now found the 'right' place in my house in a warm room(washer & dryer room!) has a window but gets no direct light at all... You need alot of patience !the Bags are at the same height of the window and 2 meters / 6 foot away from it. The sphag must not be very wet + don't let the plant touch..it I have an phal equestris which had no roots left ..I soaked it in KLN and put in an empty pot (to hold it upright) and put the pot into a bag with some damp sphag...this was in January...since then it has grown 2 keikis on the flower stalk, the best is the plant has put out new leaves (which I couldn't believe) and 3 weeks ago finally started growing a root, which is now about 1 cm long... I'll just wait for more roots..... by end of year..? I HOPE !! |

in my weather? hang dry without any media. spray twice a day , placed in 500foot candle of light. Have raised plenty of Phalaenopsis this way. Of course , this will not work anywhere outside of equator. |

roots. It is a numbers game.Most of the time they do not grow new keiki. But when they do, I save lot of money. |

Plus some books show it as a means of propagating Dens. Last edited by cloudswinger; 06-23-2008 at 02:18 PM. |

Hi, I close the bag fully. I used to look at it every day The equestris I mentioned hasn't been opened for about 2 weeks now. As far as dose of KLN I am NOT an expert but I soaked it 1 tbs to a gallon (4ml per litre)...and I have done that a couple of times during the past 6 months..makes me think maybe I should do it again? hope this helps & good luck |
