When I tell people I prefer phrag flasks about all other genus I have worked with, they look at me oddly. For me phrags have been the easiest flask to manage. Even when they are neglected they can thrive. This is a flask of Fritz Schomburg (esseae 'Aztec Flame' x kovachii 'Drumlin Treasure' - CA942) that I received in January 2023 from Chuck Acker. I try to repot phrags every 12-18 months. Compots are typically 12 months or less in the repot rotation.
This one is clearly over due. I was not attentive to my seedling phrags this year. Shame on me, but life can't always be able orchids. I keep the small seedlings inside over the summer, and it was warm/hot in the growing room this year. Plus, these were close to the grow lights in the back of the shelf. They were watered but not the most consistently watered. the wet dry cycle was longer than ideal.
I am finally getting around to repotting and pulled these out. Outside of some rough leaves, they are in good shape considering their summer care.
