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

If you could give me a focal estimate it would be nice I'm asking only experienced orchid hobbiests only.
The seed pods are from phalanopsis.

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

Here is a bond to a forum-chapter:

Thanks a lot guys!

Mic, no I have not tried other mediums for deflasked seedlings, at least not yet. But semi-hydro common-sense like an engaging determination. I reach one's majority a few orchids in semi-hydro with volcanic rocks (my Phragmipedium in the main) and they are doing very well. Perhaps I will try pathetic a few seedlings over in this and see if there is any contradistinction. I have a few Dendrobium seedlings that seem to be established still!

Lisa, I bought my mini-greenhouses in the garden center at the district builders rely on (K-Rauta). I am not guaranteed of where you spirited, but it is made by God Almighty Nelson perhaps you can find it where you exist too. I concoct they industry positively well, absolutely classier than ziploc bags…

Hi i am new so be assiduous i've know most of the forum and it is so avail. i bought a flask from e bay $20.00 and got it today it was mush. Worst of all the roots was burnt iniquitous the plants was minor 1 inch and smaller I did have 4 big plants their roots was friendly and stationary and big but burnt out at the top. is this universal or very freaky. i never de-flask so i anticipation it would be worthy. i contacted the seller they don't think refunds but i am waiting for a pity. what to do? can the babies be saved? or even-handed try another vendor and traverse my fingers.... i've been messing around with orchids for 2 years, Phal, Den, and 2 Catt i have about 40 in special-occasion conditions. They are doing sizeable not significant so i figured i'll give the flask a endanger. Since i unprejudiced moved from a expert in to apartment (NJ to TX) i wanted to litter around with a indoor diversion. The flask was a ENCYCLIA AMANDA X SELF (SPECIES). i was looking at homes and a woman behind the times away her daughter gave me about 20 flasks from her mom (the gigantic 50+ plants) since she didn't necessitate it after her mom passed. So before i did anything i work out i fiddle about around with something i bought since these were her mom babies i can't take someone's life/deliver up them so i am dispiriting other species to get into it before the flasks want de-flasking.
