How many litters of agar and flasks are needed to flask 3 orchid seed pods?

Question

If you could give me a basic estimate it would be nice I'm asking only experienced orchid hobbiests only.

Answer 1

The seed pods of orchids contain up to 1million seeds and one mother flask should not contain more than 800-1000. So you need a lot of flasks and Agar, if you really want to bread seeds of three pods.

Here is a link to a forum-chapter: "Propagation - Flasking, Cloning, Lab Techniques" to find hints or to ask specialists:
