Thanks Ray and Andrew for your feedback.

I think I'll risk it.

John,
I only grow a few uniflora crosses but I've found Melbourne tapwater to
be fine for Disa. Andrew

Melbourne's water if fluoridated and I have been using it for over 30
years
on my orchids without seemingly any ill effect.

Can anyone enlighten me as to whether there is any truth to this
statement
especially for Disas. I'd hate to spend the money on buying the flasks
and
having every seedling facing a death sentence as soon as they are
deflasked.
