Deflasking rupiculous Laelia
I purchased four tubes of seedlings on ebay from the Orchid Seedbank.
Three out of the four will go into sphagnum when I deflask them, but I'm concerned that might not be a good choice for the Laelia alvaroana which is a rupiculous Laelia. Any suggestions? deg |

Back in December, we shot some pics for the website on how to de-flask seedlings using (ta-dah!) L. alvaroana. See: http://members.cox.net/ahicks51/osp/...1/tubes_1.html It's now verging on April, and the seedlings are doing fine. The trick, of course, is they must be kept dry. If your greenhouse is moist and humid, you might find a place near the fans so they'll dry off faster, and plaque the seedlings (with or without sphagnum packing on the roots). They do have amazing abilities to withstand drought; keeping them dry for two weeks at a time in 20% relative humidity doesn't make them grow, but it doesn't kill them, either. -AJHicks Chandler, AZ E-mail address in the header doesn't work.

Aaron, my compliments on very clear, practical instructions. Good going!
Plus, I share your opinions on rat dogs; I can barely understand someone wanting to own one, but the idea of propagating them reaches beyond my range of comprehension. I would never do anything to hurt one, however. Have you seen the cat in a bottle site, BTW?

I still have a problem with "rat dogs" myself, and have always had larger
ones - German Shepherd/Lab cross, Irish Setters, Border Collies - although my daughter got a miniature longhaired dachshund about 18 months ago, and he has no concept that he even might be small, and is one of the nicest dogs I've ever been around. He terrorizes the border collie, grabbing his tail so that he can "crack the whip" when the BC runs, but id friends with the cats, too (1. they're bigger than he is, and 2. he doesn't herd them like the BC). -- Ray Barkalow First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info!

Aaron, my compliments on very clear, practical instructions. Good going! My WYSIWYG web-slinging program (NetObjects Fusion- have pity on me) doesn't "get me" what I see. So that's why there are weird things like the link to the next page between photos and other stuff. Plus, I share your opinions on rat dogs; I can barely understand someone wanting to own one, but the idea of propagating them reaches beyond my range of comprehension. I would never do anything to hurt one, however. I once rescued a dachshund on a busy street one day in August here in the Phoenix area, a story I shall relate to the Teeming Millions someday that r.g.o. gets really, really slow. I was able to find the owner, who gushed wish praise for my actions. All I could think was, "You managed to lose a dachshund?" It had run away from them at the vet clinic. How in the *world* can you get outrun by a dachshund hopped up on barbituates? The world continues to confuse me. -AJHicks Chandler, AZ E-mail address in the header doesn't work. Sorry. |
