    There are a few more not pictures soaking. Over all everything is doing well and happy with my setup(I think I got the hang of it lol). I do plan to make a orchid case this spring after I decide on the specks.

    Thank you Marni:D I have a isabelia pulchella with a seed pod. It will be ready sometime in March. Do you have any flask medium recipes I could try?

    Nice looking grow space, Jai.
    On the Isabelia capsule, they ripen and open with hardly any warning so watch it carefully.

    Thanks KellyW I found humidity is one of the most important things to have successful growing space. The Isabelia looks like it will pop any minute! I guess I will need to check it every minute lol.

    A basic mother medium can be made from P668 at 50%, 7 to 10 grams of sugar, agar, coconut water at 3 to 10% and fresh banana at 30G. This is for 1 liter of medium.
