Cattleya Intermedia Irrorata

Not a bloom at its best. Repotted less than half a year ago and striving to bloom in the unusually long dry winter-early spring season of 2011 in southwest Brazil here is the old intermedia irrorata .

Flasking Medium for Phalaenopsis Seed Sowing & Seedlings

These are a couple of formula's that a number of us have been using for Phalaenopsis.  The mother media was designed for sowing seeds with the green pod method, but it will also work with dry harvested seed.  Phals generally prefer a medium with weaker nutrients than recommended amount of most commercial flasking media.   So the amounts listed below are tailored specifically for Phalaenopsis.  Phals are also sensitive to sugar when temperatures are higher, if you find your temps run higher in your lab and you are getting die-off, try reducing the amount of sugar.

Mother Media Formula

13.5g/L    P668 (Phytotech Orchid Maintenance Media with Charcoal)
5g/L         Sugar
3-5g/L      Gelling Agent
1L            Distilled Water
 

Replate Media Formula

20g/L       P668 (Phytotech Orchid Maintenance Media with Charcoal)
5g/L         Sugar
25g/L       Banana
50g/L       Potato (cooked and mashed)
3-5g/L      Gelling Agent
950ml/L   Distilled Water

Directions:  Puree the Potato and Banana in a blender with some of the distilled water. Mix all the ingredients together and check the pH.  pH should be around 6.  The P668 media is usually self adjusting, but adding the Banana and Potato can throw off the pH.  Adjust it if needed.   Once that is done bring the mix to a rolling boil.  Then flasks can be filled and autoclaved.

surface disinfection

Surface Disinfection

In order to disinfect your working surfaces, you may use either  chlorine solutions, or alcohol. I prefer not to use alcohol, due to  the fumes, expense, and flammability. It is much easier to make a disinfection solution in the following manner using chlorine bleach.

Using a measuring cup, take 2 parts (by volume) of 5.25% sodium  hypochlorite bleach. Add to this 24 parts of distilled water. Mix thoroughly. Add to this 2 parts of household vinegar (5% acetic acid). Do NOT add the vinegar until the bleach has been diluted by the addition of the water! This solution is then added to a spray  bottle. The solution is applied liberally to all surfaces that  require disinfection; use of hand towels (inexpensive white dish  towels from a discount store are perfect) to mop up the excess and wipe down surfaces is recommended.

When finished with the solution, unscrew the spray head, and pump  clean water through the sprayer. There is no reason to clean the reservoir; as long as the bottle is tightly sealed and refrigerated while not in use, the solution remains stable for at least two months. However, the solution will corrode the working parts of the sprayer if left inside the pump, so flush it by pumping plenty of  water through it.
