Orchid Inn Paph sanderianum Flask

[suzyquec]

Following David's lead I could not resist buying one of Sam's flasks. These are the same breeding of 'Red Delight' X Bionic Man' AM/CCE/AOS and I was very luck as it was the last available until later this summer. Unlike David I prefer to keep the puck partially intact and place it on a good mixture of fine orchiata, sponge rock and charcoal. Once they are established and happy I will transfer them to a couple of group pots to continue growing. I have placed them in low lights and will add Inocucor for a few days and then weekly for the first few months. Wish me luck and maybe David and I can compare notes as we go.

They look great! All these sanderianum posts lately really make me want to get one, what a shame they're so darn expensive! Good luck!

Wonderdul group of little sanderianums. Looks very well. Are you using led light above this community pot? Good luck to growing them healthy and be patient!

Nice! Good luck

Thank you all for your good wishes. Troy I purchased this past Wednesday and Sam shipped the same day, they arrived Friday. I could not have asked for better service. Matt, I have them in a window set back for low natural light for the first week of so and then I will move them with the rest of my babies under the led grow lights. I'll post as they progress but I know this is a long term commitment.

Now I'm off to the Redlands Show to pick up some flasks I ordered from Peruflora and yes I have it bad!

It's like planting a seedling fruit tree and waiting years for it to produce. Orchids = trees

I had a vendor at the Redlands show tell me that an orchid I was interested in would probably bloom in the next 6 months, all I could think was wow that was a very short time when compared to the sanderianum seedlings that would probably take 10 years!

Susan, these looks pristine! Sam's shipping is perfect. Such beautiful little plants -- I'm looking forward to comparing our progress on our sandies! Best of luck,
