Roger, The advice I follow with great results is from Bob & Lynn Wellenstein at AnTec Laboratory, the URL for their information page on deflasking orchids is below. This information is specifically related to Paphiopedilum orchids, but I use it for all Orchids I de-flask and it works great. I loose very few seedlings by following their advice. All of my loss is due to my own stupidity, not their excellent advice.
