must admit failure when you are faced with the reality of things. Hope, you know, is always the last to die, it is true, but then at some point in the hope succumbs.
And so today, took my courage in both hands, I disposed of all pending seeding germination. And they were waiting a long time. Older by about a year and four months. The most recent just over a year. Even considering the possible state of lethargy in which they entered the seeds, as we are well outside those times that are considered the maximum time for germination.
In reality more than half of the lethargic state I think we can safely speak of certain death.
There was no germination despite the many media used and methods of sowing: Phytamax, Murashige and Skoog, OSP germination medium, OSP repla medium, medium home, at full concentration, concentration halved hypochlorite sterilization, sterilization in water peroxide, large pots, small jars, sealed with sterile aeration.
not checked anything. Excluding ertain white dots in Phalaenopsis Cornu Cervi jars but now stuck for months, I suspect they were not even protocormi. Even the molds have been very few. Now the protocol for sterilization by a pressure cooker seems proven.
Of course the strange thing is that none of the batches of seeds gave good results, it 'the cornu deer, it' different bletilla striata, it 'the cattleya and dendrobium. Despite the fact that almost all came from different sources. The thing that all recovered seeds have in common is that none of them knew it 'the time of collection it' method of preservation. Which brings me to the conclusion that it is useless to waste time and money with seeds qualsi not know the origin. And then, for what little experience with the previous plantings were successful, the method by which 'the best results is running from capsule closed. However
the jars with the media will not be wasted. Have already been reused for ripicchiettare a bit 'of phalaenopsis previous seeding. Another thing I realized is that it is better to wait as much as possible to sfiascare orchids, and most are big and strong in vitro, the greater the chances of survival and faster growth out of it. Here is a bit 'of the last remaining jars of phalaenopsis have been divided among the different mediums of failed plantings. So, if you own the seeds still have something to say, still have some 'time to do it while meanwhile the substrate to be' to grow other plants. There will
to wait for the next bloom, another thing that I seem to have difficulty, to get a bit 'of capsules to be pursued.
