Roby, Here is a link to the instructions on AnTec Labs web site, they are the best instructions I know of for deflasking Orchid seedlings.
http://ladyslipper.com/compot2.pdf I leave seedlings in the flask until they start to out grow the flask. You say there are some roots, but you want to make sure the all the seedlings have good roots. The only reason to rush them out of the flask is if the flask is contaminated. --Tom /----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Orchid Grower Specializing | [EMAIL PROTECTED] In Paphs and Pleurothallids | http://www.orchids.iastate.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |"There is always room for one more Orchid!!"
