    Wink First Flasks- Trichoglottis Triflora

    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:

    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.

    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.

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