Hi !
I`ve been a lurker for quite a long time (years ) and find this
group very helpful and friendly. Finally a time came to ask a question
: I`ve got a flask of Tolumnia seedlings, ready to pot. My question is
- should I pot them in orchid medium (or sphagnum moss ?), in pots or
should I transplant them directly to the mounts ? I did deflasking
before but Tolumnias frighten me a bit
Sandra
I think straight out of flask you should probably do a compot first, in
some sort of traditional mix. A seedling bark or sphagnum is probably
appropriate. They need to harden off a bit before you put them on the
mounts. Give them until spring in the compots, at least.
