Shann, I'm so glad they got there safe and sound.

Okay it’s all done! WHEW!

Here are the pics from beginning to end of my new Lc. Gold Digger X Enc. ochrantha seedlings!!

Coir Medium:



Bath for seedlings with a small amount of fungicide and some sugar:



The Flask!!



I taped it up to prevent glass from going all over when I shatter the bottle:



One hit and the bottom cracked right off:



Plop into the bath:



With some gloves on I gently separated them in the bath:



Here they are from large to small starting with two XL seedlings:



The large to medium group:



The small guys:



The really really small guys who may not survive:



It was too messy to take pics after this so all I have for you is the final result:



Most have styrofoam in the bottom except the larger two which have a bark seedling mix.

I water and misted them afterwards and now I am going to relax because I have a headache...lol.

Wow.. I'm impressed.

They look really healthy too. Here's to a bazillion successful new plants!!

[Shannara]

I was surprised how many were in there. There were at least 24 medium to large size plants and another 8 or so small that I put in a clay compot. The last two on the right probably have another 30-40 tiny plants that I doubt many will make it, but I want to at least give them a chance.

Finally getting my headache under control too...that project took me awhile.

Nice work, Shann. I know how long that takes. I appreciate you taking photos to share with us of your process. Best of luck to you and great success with these. I look forward to seeing photos of them when they are blooming.

Cheers,

You had so many seedlings in that flask!!!
And the larger ones are so big and healthy, I bet you won't have to wait many years before they bloom ...
(just a couple of years ... )

Shann, I am so happy it's all good!!! They look great! And the big ones look like almost mature plants! Wishing you many blooms from all this guys!
