When the gardener is also scientist., expect this. Great job
Hello! Your tutorial delivers clear and superior instructions and reasoning for each step in the propagation process. Thank you very much.
Date: March 11, 2017
So, I did this. Except I didn't sterilize anything. Or remove the covering.
And I just stuck it in water until it showed signs of life, then washed off the mold and stuck it in peat moss.
I was quite surprised it grew, really. I just looked this video up because I was curious about whether this was a thing people did. I guess I just rediscovered the wheel.
Really?
Am glad to hear that ! :) people have been propagating orchids for hundreds of years -
This is such an amazing and informative video! Thanks so much for sharing!
you should see some growth in around 6 weeks. If anything went wrong and mold/fungus grows then it's usually a sterilization problem and that usually occurs within the first 3 days. Put the tubes in a well lit area but not in direct sun or it will cook! Should be around 24C
Hi. Is there a follow up video for these 3 that we seen being done?
Would love to shop with you.
Tissue culture requires the bud to be removed from the stem and used, you are just doing cuttings that will take normally with water or growth medium, they dont need the sterilizing.
Love your video! I'm going to try half this method and half with the keiki method. I'm in Texas, going to have to see if I can find some of that multiplication medium here in the states!
Superb video - hate that your site is no longer online.
I would have enjoyed the follow up video to this.
This was great! I'm a indoor orchid grower and over the past few days I've been playing with the idea of dipping my toes into doing this and maybe even trying to de flask some orchids this summer just to see what can come of it...just an experiment on some varieties I can't easily purchase in my area as well as some that haven't been named as yet-how exciting! I figure when they mature I can share some of the extras with my friends and family that are always eyeing my orchids. I know they would love to get some that they can't easily buy in store and what better way to start playing around with this than with my current collection right? I have 2 phals in bloom right now and as soon as there blooms drop... the stems are getting the scalpel. Thanks for the inspiration.
sherylintheraw IF this doesn't work for you (and I say that as you need to be incredibly sterile for this one) try the Keiki paste. What you could do its apply some keiki to a lower node and leave that one on there - I call that belt and braces!
good point. i have about 10 possible nodes on 1 of the plants i'm considering to use so I might do 50/50 keiki paste and this method. like I said I'm up for a bit of experimenting. it cant hurt to try.
Hi! I just got some of the paste and am wondering if I should remove the nodes like this video - or if I can peel back the covering and still leave it on the plant? Some of the stems have 2 or 3 nodes - could I try to trigger them all? Thank you! David

@@davidshipman9479 I got keiki paste a few weeks ago.
1. You need to leave the node \ stem on the parent (the parent plant will provide the nutrient and fluids it needs while it develops)
2. My instructions say you can do UP to 2 node per flower spike and no more than 2 flower spikes per plant (so 4 in total)
3. If a keiki develops wait until the roots are two to three inches long and the plant has about 2 leaves before cutting off
My personal preference is to cut the steam just below the last flower so the plant stop wasting energy trying to sustain the flowers but personal preference.
Will there be an update on these flaskettes? :D
Dam I wish there was a follow up video on this! Would love to know if it worked & if so what anti-fungals & antibacterials were in that medium! I've tried this a few times now, but only bleached for 10-15 minutes, but I've had major contamination coming from the stem everytime :( I'm going to try again for the 30 minutes next time I have a stem available.
Also, there was no washing off the bleach in the video, I've read you should (and personally do) wash 3 times, 5 minutes each in sterile water after bleach/before flasking, so I'm really interested in if that was done here & just left out of the video, or not done & that helped in contamination control.
Honestly without a follow up video, I'm actually a bit skeptical of this being successful. Seems to me like a very high chance of either contamination, death of tissue or both
Upvote. But still, what does one do after putting the cuttings in the medium?
One waits
were did you buy the flask, I didn't see a link for it
I want to see the update of this process..hopefully you can share with us.
so this is pretty much very similar to tissue culture?
Looks to be the case.
Great
Is there a way to make this growing medium substance with products from a basic gardening store or hardware store?
Where to buy the Ready to use Flasklettes and the Keiki? Thanks for sharing such a fascinating techniques.
Hello
I have an orchid , phalaenopsis whose bud on two of the stems has produced leaves instead of flower buds ; as if these leaves were two little individual plants
How could I transplant these
The whole orchid is very healthy and producing two or three tiny blooms presently
Thank you for your help
Very Interesting , will give this ago
Spent days trying to research the validity of a similar claim made in a shorts. Only now did RUclips recommend this video. Anyway, better late than never.
So,,, the keiki past will cause them to grow from the side of the stem and then you can cut and transplant them? My wife had one grow from the side of hers and she cut it and planted it and hot waxed the stem she cut it from to seal it. And it worked reall well. That one just got done blooming a 7-8 bloom string. Thanks for the info. I want to try flasking the seeds just to see if I can and now would like to tryt this as well! Wish me luck!! lol
Very informative video! I'd really like to do this on flowers I got for Valentines day. They are just stems and are really beautiful so I've been searching for a way to save them. Do you think someone with no green thumb can do this?
Sadly I think you're no chance. It's all got to be done under sterile conditions. Usually the florist would know the specific variety they order. Have you asked them?
Too bad--the vender for the flaskettes was put out of business! If you click on the link, you'll find out some of the reasons why they closed.
Sorry could I know how stirring nodes of orchids? Please help me
I realize you are closed...hope you see this though. Do you have any recommendations for where we can buy these kits or supplies in the USA. Anywhere really though I’m in Virginia. I have contacted a couple of labs to ask but no one even answers. Very disappointing since obviously if they are doing orchid tissue or seed culture they would have or know where to get the materials. Thanks Les
I was able to do this with plain reverse osmosis water
I've not done that before. Well done
What is the concentratrion of the standard house bleach there?! Here is Brazil it is 2,5% but chlorox in US is about 8,25% .... what about yours?
Thank you! Im going to give it a shot! How long before you see growth? And should I place the flasks in a window?
Hi Lindsey, You should see some growth in around 6 weeks. If anything went wrong and mold/fungus grows then it's usually a sterilization problem and that usually occurs within the first 3 days. Put the tubes in a well lit area but not in direct sun or it will cook! Should be around 24C (ish)
Ok thank you very much! :))
@@OrchidSpecies hi, is there any video with the results? What was the success rate of Your propagation?
After this process so you leave in a bright area or somewhere dark?
great video! Although, i think it's quite pointless to sterilize everything so many times if you're going to put it into sterilization mixture anyways
is that watter in flask? or any other example alcohol? thank you!
hello sir now a days me and my husband thinking of opening a small Orchid farm in our country , it ll be so helpful for us if you tell us that from where we can buy or import young phalaenopsis plant??? and what we should do to utilize our dream. I am waiting for your kind information.
Thailand has a lot of orchid nurseries so i think it is the most possible area where u can buy but I'm not sure if they sell young phals.
thank you so much for your kind information.

everytime he says IPA, i think india pale ale

all prayer.

I wonder if the process is being done under a sterile hood (otherwise how can the tubes with the jelly not be contaminated?).
@Giovanni Fazi. I was thinking the exact same thing. I would have expected a sterile hood if you're going to go to all the trouble. Idk? It was an interesting video nonetheless.
Is it possible to propagate using another part of the plant?
Hi.. I bought a box of orchid stems in Thailand and wondering if I can get a root on these stems or if I should just enjoy them as long that the last in Water..
Just enjoy them. Sometimes with Dendrobium (more Epidendrum though) you could plant the stems after they finish and keep your fingers crossed - they do unexpected things sometimes :)
How old are those flower stems? Is it dead? Or would any shoot still grow?
Hello.I would like to know, what next? I can repot small orchids into the pot with the substrate?they will be strong enough to survive? Thank you
Ivana Tesarovičová No problem. Once the plant has a few leaves and roots (preferably more than one) of around 1.5 - 2 inches you can remove it, wash off the jelly and remove any dead roots (sometimes they grow and die and grow and die and so on) then just pot up as per the keiki video. Keep the newly potted plants in a shady position for the first 10 days or so to allow them to acclimatise then grow as normal.
Orchid Species Thank you. I am checking the site but flasklettes are sold out.When the goods will be available again?
Can this also be done to a cattleya orchid flower stem
So, I have full access to a hospital laboratory, will I be able to do this in a hospital laboratory?
***** haha, no worries, I have full access with all of the appropriate "licences"
You make it so complecated...i grow mine in microfibre come from unuse mop, few stone and water bottle...and they were fine ...😷😷😷
mercy ioannou Wow I just love simple methods. Please could you do a video.
Thanks for the interesting video. I am wanting to start growing and cloning Orchids. Can anyone here please let me know if it is possible to purchase orchid cuttings/clones (or whatever the proper terminology is for the small stem cutting) here in the UK? Are there any reputable suppliers who sell these stems prepared or unprepared? If so, is it fair to say they would be a fraction of the price of a flowering plant? Thanks a lot in advance.
Wow, it's been 7 years since your comment. How has the idea gone? Did you get to create your orchid orchard?
There is no point of extra care for sterilizing when you put down your forcep and holding the material with your hand. You have hold a lot of things with your hands and you use it to hold the explant instead of a sterilized forcep. The forcep shoukd not be put down instead it should be put on top of a sterilize half cover petri dish to avoid contamination. Wrong practice.
hello everyone,
would this method help for japanese maples aswell?
My orchid has new leaves growing from an old flower stem. What should I do with it?
Keikis! Let it grow on the plant for months till it has nice strong roots then you can plant it, look up keikis. GL, Congrats on the spontaneous plant baby.
Thanks for the info.
mikkle willey I
Any updates? Is it working or they all dead? Please respond.
Will it be alright to place orchids in popsicle stick baskets?
donna ford Not really, it will rot too quick
ok thanks...that what I thought
Did it work?
could I use chlorine, ipa, or ethanol to sterilize? or dose it have to be bleach?
also the link never popped up for me could you send it?
In my limited experience, bleach is the gentlest on the plant tissues when comparing all used at high enough conserntrations or for long enough to kill the bad stuff
génial dommage le sous titrage en français pas trop mal c'est compliquer une aide serais de trop de refus en français merci fab
Jeeez. complicated. Going to ebay to find a plastic one...
grow pot guys
Mymixvideosphillipines, has an easier method. I just viewed it before this one! But I subscribe to this channel, how ironic is that, lol???
complicated process

What's medium??
Thank you for your videos. In this videomuz, how should small tits be stored after planting? In the same way, how should the seeds be kept in an environment after being planted? Thank you.
can u send me a clone?!? :)
