Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my first flasks that I did yesterday of Trichoglottis Triflora. So far no contamination but I guess it will be at least a few days before it shows. Heres some pics:





If anyone has any questions, please ask!

How did you sterilize plastic containers?

How did you sterilize plastic containers?

Pressure cooker on lowest heat from stovetop, I made the mistake of setting the heat too high with my first ones and they melted but if the containers are polypropylene they can withstand it low heat. I pressure cooked for 15 minutes.

How did you sterilize plastic containers?

I've seen on youtube people using microwave to sterilize microwavable plastic containers.

How do you create the sterile working environment?

I used a plastic tub with 2 arm holes cut in the lid, and flipped it on its side. Then I sprayed all over the inside with a 50/50 bleach water solution and waited 5 minutes, then repeated. I had a towel soaked in the bleach solution inside and I wiped all of my flasks before opening them.

Looks nice. Keeping fingers crossed.

Hopefully there no contamination some species will take more than a month to look green but others very fast like terrestrial orchids. All the best.
