Описание: Today we talk more on the subject of seedlings, some care tips and some potting options, as part of my regular viewer questions!

Orchid seedlings are, like the name suggests, small orchids sprouted from seed. They are young and much more sensitive than their mature counterparts. It is common to find orchid flasks on the market, which need to be open and then the seedlings potted.

The most common and, in my opinion, most suitable medium for most people is sphagnum moss. Even if very water retentive, moss can be wonderful if used correctly. Here is how to best use it with orchids    • How to use sphagnum moss with orchids  

Other media and setups can work too, if the environment helps and if care is taken for particular inconveniences the media have. LECA will pull salts on the surface, it doesn't take much to damage fragile seedling roots. Bark tends to dry fast and needs more attention with watering. But in the end there is a great medium for everyone. If you are unsure, I would go with tiny pots and sphagnum moss.

If you have pictures of your orchids that you'd like to send me, you can use askmissog at gmail and I will reply with an email or video. If you send me pictures you agree to let me use them in my videos, if you don't want me to, don't send me any mail at this address!
