My First Deflasking

Follow me on this adventure of de-flasking my first ever flask of Sarcochilus seedlings.
If you have de-flasked any type of orchid before, please comment your experiences below. I'd love to read them.
Where I got my supplies from:
Mycorrhizal Fungi - biostim.com.au/
Sarcochilus flask - barritaorchids...
My inspiration - if you are anywhere in the southern states of Australia, this is worth a look:

Thank you! ❤

I thought it looked different! I hadn't remembered seeing trees off your balcony! Great vid!

[@MyTinyBalcony]

Thank you! I am still learning.
We moved suburbs, about 8km further west. This all happened Between Christmas and New Year last year.

Good luck with your first flask!

[@MyTinyBalcony]

Thank you so much. I have been monitoring them, and sadly one didn't make it. It was the teensy single leaf mutant. But the rest are bouncing back a little, and seem to be producing some new leaves.

great vid! but how do you "flask" them? I take it you bought them?

[@MyTinyBalcony]

I buy them flasked. Orchid seeds are not like other seeds, and require a nutrient rich substrate around them. Seeds in the wild are notoriously unreliable. Which is why they are grown in laboratories, in nutrient rich agar. I bought this flask from Barrita Orchids in NSW. They have the lab set up to create flasks.
