Today we talk more on the subject of seedlings, some care tips and some potting options, as part of my regular viewer questions!
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Orchid seedlings are, like the name suggests, small orchids sprouted from seed. They are young and much more sensitive than their mature counterparts. It is common to find orchid flasks on the market, which need to be open and then the seedlings potted.
The most common and, in my opinion, most suitable medium for most people is sphagnum moss. Even if very water retentive, moss can be wonderful if used correctly. Here is how to best use it with orchids • How to use sphagnum mo...
Other media and setups can work too, if the environment helps and if care is taken for particular inconveniences the media have. LECA will pull salts on the surface, it doesn't take much to damage fragile seedling roots. Bark tends to dry fast and needs more attention with watering. But in the end there is a great medium for everyone. If you are unsure, I would go with tiny pots and sphagnum moss.
If you have pictures of your orchids that you'd like to send me, you can use askmissog at gmail and I will reply with an email or video. If you send me pictures you agree to let me use them in my videos, if you don't want me to, don't send me any mail at this address!

Who can spot the editing mistake? :P

@Justusorjustone 6 лет назад

Not me,I was working on my Orchid and played the video and was hearing you😅....

@carolprenger5242 6 лет назад

Was it the almost 8 minute ad? I watched by the way

@shyblism8315 6 лет назад

18:59 "more or less, more or less"? Is the prize my orchids will be as happy as yours? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@ajlast3691 6 лет назад

10:45 "Texture" 😂🤣 😅 voice overlay? Hihi 😶🤔🤪

@chaniwagh6254 6 лет назад

At around 9:45 when you say roots are "fluffy" but in screen you write "flexible"?

@arsolano90 6 лет назад

Please do a deflasking video. I think deflasking is interesting and your video will be very informative, as always

@elainefigueira1 6 лет назад

Hi, yes please do a deflasking video, it will be great!

@poples5799 6 лет назад

I would definitely be interested in seeing a deflasking video! I would also be interested in hearing you talk about the differences between seedlings and keikis, how are they different (other than one coming from a seed and the other growing on the plant) and if there are differences in how they should be treated etc

@jadest6831 Год назад

Would love you to do an orchid deflasking tutorial 🎉 that would be amazing to follow your journey!

@TY-ob7fz 6 лет назад

Danny. Would love to see you do a deflasking. Hope that you’ll use different media including microfiber and take us through the journey. Perhaps do a give away when they’re at the proper stage. But looking forward to you doing. Terrific idea !!! But gosh the giveaway won’t be in the USA 🇺🇸🙈. 😢

@hillbillyorchids 6 лет назад

Yes deflasking and seedlings would be very interesting. You can do it! 👍🏻😁

@catv9085 6 лет назад

Paused mid-video to write, YES I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO VIDEOS ABOUT FLASKED ORCHIDS! Here is your encouragement. :)

@joanneacevedo8201 6 лет назад

Hi Dani, I've seen many of your videos since 2016 and all are excellent; thanks for sharing your knowledge 😉. I live in the Caribbean and I bought a Vanda seedling 1 1/2 years ago. I hung it under a tree in a very small basket with some small cuttings of Tillandsia Usneoides (Spanish Moss) on top of the 3 tiny roots of the Vanda. Well this seedling has grown some serious long roots and is looking very healthy and pretty big for its years. I do water 2Xday. I do know our climate is excellent for orchids 😉

@normantorok5919 3 года назад

great info on growing the youngsters...thx

@emjolurad9 6 лет назад

As a beginner I like working with the seedlings or the younger plants. I think they have more active growth than the mature ones which is encouraging to me .because I ‘ve killed off more mature orchids than seedlings

@cecilialord4448 6 лет назад

Oh! Thank you for this! I just received several seedlings and I potted them in bark chips. I will definitely be adjusting my set up. I would love to see a deflasking video.

@dianacloud9793 3 года назад

I highly recommend you to do this Danny. I think it'd be fun if you have time.

@ajlast3691 6 лет назад

It would be a very nice idea... seeing you in a video deflask8ng seedlings and potting them and of course giving updates every month on the seedlings growth... 😉😁 will be looking forward to it... hehehe 😁

@SBeard 6 лет назад

One of your best recent videos. I have a lot of orchid seedlings and this video was on spot for the advice I needed. Thanks!

@rianmilit 6 лет назад

Oh, I also bought the Cymbidiella from PL, mine was purchased in May and I planted it in cocopeat, that's my preferred medium for smaller orchids, and it's doing amazing, despite a black fly infestation that punctured it's poor leaves. Mine has been kept on a Vest facing balcony and it has been growing like crazy, it's tripled in size and it is a water hog. It also has lots or roots, almost took over its pot (which is actually a plastic cup). I find cocopeat really nice to use, since it's airy and fluffy, but compact enough to keep the roots moist most of the time.

@user-tq4tw9yj1z 2 месяца назад

Being this is an old video, perhaps you have already made a video on planting orchid seedlings from a flask. I was given some and need to know how big they have to be to be potted on their own. thank you! Enjoy your videos!

@cathyann1601 6 лет назад

I would find it very, very interesting to watch you grow seedlings. I certainly would learn a lot!!!

@florencekalma5629 4 года назад

Yes! I’ve never seen a deflasking. That would make an interesting video.

@jane-wv8bt 6 лет назад

Yes, it would be great to see you deflask and raise some seedlings!

@latishasuarez1366 6 лет назад

I got me a few seedlings cattlya's. My first attempt to repot, my first cattlya. I damaged all roots on one 😥. Hopefully it will bouce back over time. I watch your videos with rootless cattlya with success at the end results. Hopefully same here. With the help of your info. The others was a breeze to repot no problems. Yes, would like to see U deflask orchids

@faeryegrrl777 2 года назад

I recently did the same on an absolutely gorgeous Cattleya that a grower sent me when two orchids I ordered had infections. I live in a sub-tropical climate and should have immediately repotted into a pot with holes like the rest of my collection. ALL of the roots are gone and the smallest psuedobulb died but it still looks great. It had a new growth at the time so I have my fingers crossed! Did yours perk up?

@diannebozakis5570 6 лет назад

Would love to see a deflasking - my phals loves spagnum moss

@KathrynAtkinson-rt9em 2 месяца назад

Yes please

@Justusorjustone 6 лет назад

This year semihydroponics works great for all my Orchids,my cattleya seedlings are also doing so well in it,my tolumnia which is in semihydro has 9 buds right now,my den phal seedling matured 3 growths this year in which the latest cane is in bloom right now,I just love semihydro...

@dalaltammar8669 5 лет назад

It will be a great idea to c orchids evolution from flask to mature. It can also be a new series with each different type of orchids.

@jokennedy2943 6 лет назад

Yes please to video suggestion .

@boblaurieg.8649 6 лет назад

Yes, a deflasking video would be wonderful!!!

@lucialucia6987 Год назад

If you could do a defasking video, it would be fantastic! :) thank you for your videos, I love whatching them

@lillybee7168 6 лет назад

Yes I'd enjoy you deflasking some and we can watch them grow grow grow....:)

@LinardBraslin 6 лет назад

I don't want to see you go trough the trouble of having to raise a bunch of seedlings of the same orchid, but what I would want to see is you crossing 2 different Phal or Catt breeds, maturing the seeds and growing them yourself. I know it takes quite a lot to be able to accommodate this, but honestly a well sealed glass box is enough. I have full faith in you to be able to actually get some good results... in 5+ years, haha! I definitely agree that sphagnum moss is the best medium for orchids, but little things add up if you have a lot of plants to end up making quite a big 'problem'.

@randie999 6 лет назад

Adding my yes please to deflasking! 😊

@martharobertson8070 6 лет назад

Yessss please please do a deflasking video.

@digiko4u 6 лет назад

A deflasking video would be nice and an interesting experience I say yes to a video :)

@jessicacarter5606 6 лет назад

Yes go ahead with the deflasking that augh to be very interesting as always with your vedios thanks for sharing

@brendaNFarmville 6 лет назад

Hi Danny, yes I would like you to do a deflasking video it sounds like a great experience.

@tonyl5979 6 лет назад

You should do one for a vandaceous type orchid. You can do a update for these seedlings. Once the seedlings are well established, you can keep some of them and the rest can be used for a give away.

@p4ul1010 6 лет назад

PLEASE BUY AN ORCHID FLASK!! That would be actually great to document and to learn from your experience!!! I will be looking after that in your channel ^_^

@j.d.8075 6 лет назад

I have purchased flasks and am looking to expand into propagating my own seeds... I have basically treated my seedlings/plantlets like the adults as in the wild they would be in the same environment and conditions as the adults and shall either survive or die...

@kevstar7874 6 лет назад

I think a deflasking video would be great and very interesting! 👍

@KassandraQuiseng 6 лет назад

Deflasking would be cool! I’ve always wondered about that.

@xxxthomas6728 6 лет назад

Hello Dani, I just want to tell what is told in the latest magazine of "Die Orchidee" (german orchid society magazine) on the topic of fertilizing recently deflasked seedlings. Dr Norbert Dank suggests to water the seedlings with a strongly concentrated fetilizer solution because the concentration of nutritious salts in the medium of the flasks is much higher than later in the planting medium (he plants his seedling also in sphagnum moss). So the first watering has an EC of 2000 microS/cm! Later on he waters them like the adult plants (450 microS/)cm.

@MissOrchidGirl 6 лет назад

Hi, there are a few fundamental issues that I can see here. One rule of math is that when we want to work with 2 components, we need to convert them to the same measuring unit. Comparing the ppm of agar with the ppm of fertilizers is like comparing sugar with table salt. A 2k reading of sugar in a quantity of water might not harm plants, while table salt in the same quantity would seriously damage them. The difference is the nature of the salt and its properties. So we need to bring agar and fertilizer into the same unit to compare them, which is impossible. In that 2k reading of agar we don't find the classical fertilizer table contents, but other salts and sugars too. Then, a 2k fertilizer solution is unused by even the hungriest orchid, at maturity, in growth mode. How would a small seedling use up all those nutrients? It is a waste. Also, the agar solution is made to last for at least a few months of the seedling life, it can consume it gradually, as the nutrients are in soluble form at all times. They might also be produced gradually by the bacteria in the agar. Fertilizers can be dosed whenever we please and they usually don't stay perfecly disdolved and dispersed, unless we keep seedlings in straight water, which we don't do. A 600ppm reading left visible salt marks on my working table, can you imagine how a 2k solution would look when dry? The build up will be there, as roots are not present in the entirety of the moss. So in my opinion, a mild solution is the safest bet, as agar is not equal to commercial fertilizer and life in a bottle is not life in air. We fertilize to feed, not because we need to meet a ratio of something. Feeding is different from plant to plant. So personally I would not do such experiments on my plants, when I fail to see the logic, I might be wrong, but in the end it's my orchids and my money at risk here :p ps: not sure what 2k ms is in ppm, but I took a reading with my tds, it would be at about 1 k ppm.. still super much.

@xxxthomas6728 6 лет назад

@@MissOrchidGirl You have good arguments. Maybe I should ask him about this issue ( his Email adress is also listed).😄 But I fear the answer might be: I tried it, it doesn`t harm.

@MissOrchidGirl 6 лет назад

Do ask, it might be that he does have a reasoning beyond what I can come up with :)

@marifije 4 года назад

@trishsmith2811 2 года назад

Is there a difference between seedlings and plugs? I have ordered a ‘mystery’ bundle of plugs of different types. They aren’t here yet so I wanted to get as much education on them as I can.

If there are any facilities that start the growing process from seed around your area, might it be possible for a video tour of the facility? -that is if there are any in your area.

@heatheredwards2982 5 лет назад

Yes yes yes because I want to do the same and some info prior to would be great!!!!!

@Peggles83 6 лет назад

Hi Danny, how do you tell if your orchid is no longer a seedling but a mature plant?? Some Orchids flower as seedlings so I know that isn't the way to tell, but can't find anywhere information to specify the differences. Any information would be great since there are differences in growing seedlings and mature plants. Thanks

@CalaVdarivdavd 5 лет назад

Oh, Dany, I am so afraid! I've purchased from Secret Garden here in Romania 2 summer blooming species seedlings: phal hieroglyphica and phal cornu cervi. Cornu cervi has more fleshy and thick roots, and it was repotted by SG in moss (because it was purchased later), it's doing fine, but the hieroglyphica is very fragile, the roots are very thin and it came potted from the grower in some bark. I put it in leca and I keep it moist because I don't have moss at home. I noticed a root starting to rot, but not inside the media, at the top, near the stem. Should I let it be or cut it?

@KAMJKJ 6 лет назад

I have a wired doubt will these yellow dried sphagnum moss will regrow to live again? When planted with orchid 😅 I have a wired imagination that those yellow moss turns green and start to grow when it contact good light and moisture is it true😅

@xxxthomas6728 6 лет назад

It is unlikely that the moss will regrow. If it turns green, then because of algae.

@TFBIII-xb4kd 4 года назад

Did you every buy them in the flask yet?

@risherry 6 лет назад

You said seedlings are from seeds, but then what are orchid nurseries selling? Are those all from seeds or there are also keikis? Never seen nurseries using the term keiki.

Hi is it possible to keep a orchids in flower for longer then 3 months

@nmatheis 9 месяцев назад

As a plant tissue culture scientist, seeing someone put plants in a plant tissue culture vessel where you can't remove the plants without breaking the vessel makes my blood pressure rise. What a ridiculous and completely unnecessary thing to do which involves risk to both the customer as well as the plants. 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 That said, when I've seen orchid "flasks" for sale near me, they're almost always in the usual plant tissue culture vessel I most commonly use which is basically a sterile 500ml plastic deli tub. Not nearly as cool looking as a narrow mouth glass bottle, but much much more practical!
