‘Deflasking Orchids’

Many of our customers are aware that we produce the majority of our plants right here at the nursery. That process includes sending seedpods into the laboratory for germination and early stages. After a period of time the plants are sent back to the greenhouse in glass bottles, ready for removal and planting. While we plant most everything ourselves, we do occasionally have a bounty of flasks and can offer the extra for sale.

Learning to deflask baby orchids can be fun and interesting for orchid societies, garden clubs, teachers, hobbyists and more! Growing orchids from flask demands patience but is greatly rewarding. It also means you can grow larger quantities of plants from a younger stage for resale or giving away. This free class discusses creating seedpods, and the journey through the lab while overall demystifying the deflasking process. We will be demonstrating the process of preparing media, removing then sorting the seedlings, planting them plus caring for them in the following weeks after deflasking.

Class begins at 1:30 pm on Saturday November 9^th, 2019

Limited Seating Available.
Please call 800-873-7086 or email chsales@carterandholmes.com to RSVP.
