Jay,
Put the seedlings into a high humidity environment. They are very tender and need as much humidity as they can get. I use the containers I get at the grocery store for strawberries, or cherry tomatoes. I put New Zealand moss in the container and then put the seedlings into it. The containers are vented but keep high humidity around the seedlings. I usually put these containers inside a clear plastic shoe box for a couple of weeks and then move it to a high humidity area in my greenhouse. Once they are growing nicely then I take them out into individual containers or mount them depending on the seedlings. Also keep them in the shade as much as possible until they start growing well.
Good luck,
Tom Hillson

Hi Folks
Does anyone have any suggestions on helping very small plantlets of wilsonii x parishii out of flask.
They had to come out due to contamination and are really at the smallest I have ever dealt with; they have a = to 1 inch leaf span. They do have at least 1 or 2 one inch roots.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am trying one on cork with sphagnum pad, and will keep it in a case where lobii and lowii seem to be doing ok. I do have 2 more in need of care and would like other options to spread out the risk of loosing them.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
