Question About agar

I am thinking of starting a flasking hobby I have access to a laminar hood and every thing else is ready to go but I still have questions about the agar the seeds must be sowen in mostly the chemical composition and what brand would be the best if possible please include what orchid agar should cointain and also if you have a good brand to recomend.

OH almost forgot the flowers being bred are phalanopsis

growing in the flask is the easy part. Raisin from flask to adult is very very difficult.

Mallardman - What two Phals are you crossing? Have you already crossed them and have a seed pod already? I am just starting with crossing two Paphs and would be interested in hearing your experiences with your Phals.

As you haven't listed where you live in your profile, I'll make a wild and possibly incorrect assumption that you're in the US. Try the following suppliers for ready made media.

Your assumption is correct and I haven't crossed the plants yet I want to make sure they have every thing they need when I sow them.
