Potting Tiny Orchid Seedlings from Flask Culture

Purnima in India bought tiny orchids in bottles with paraffin wax/water, 3–4 inch roots. Expert: remove carefully, don't damage roots. Orchids are air plants—mud compacts, suffocates roots. Start in loose live moss in well-drained pot for humidity. Keep moss damp, not wet (wetter lower down). Water/mist mornings only. Extra air movement prevents fungus. As they grow, transition to loose moss + tree fern + small bark + perlite.
