Our Services
Motherflasking: $17.00 per pod
This is the process of spreading the sanitized seed onto germination media. For the single $17 fee we make 2 motherflasks if there is enough seed available. We can work with either green or dry seed.
Replating: $20 per flask
(Price includes the vessel) After germination plants are placed on a rooting media and spaced out to about 25 plants per flask. This process is called replating. These are the flasks you will receive. The minimum number of replate flasks is 5 per cross. If there are not enough seedlings for the minimum number of replate flasks you will only be charged for those that were able to be produced.
PHALAENOPSIS STEM PROPAGATION
Initiation: $20 per stem. Stem segments are sterilized and placed on stem prop media.
Final plants: $10 per plant. After initiation plantlets are placed on rooting media and grown to a size large enough to grow outside of flask. Minimum 5 plants per stem submitted.
Stems are best sent wrapped in plastic wrap. Do not wet the stems before wrapping as this can cause bacterial or fungal growth during shipping. Stems can be cut in half or more to allow for easier packaging. Do not cut at or near a node if possible. These nodes are what we use to make the stem props. Below is a picture of a properly wrapped stem. Stems should be sent in a sturdy box to prevent damage.
Paphiopedilum pods wrapped for submission.
