In this episode, I'm sharing about how to transfer orchid seeds from the mother flask to several daughter flasks. This is the next step after sowing seeds and watching for orchid seed germination. I'll give some reasons for doing this transfer (also known as replating). This is my first time doing an orchid seed transfer, so I was worried about contaminations. I'll share a few things about how to prevent and treat contaminations.
