Something to think about:
1) Why are the seedlings grown in a glass bottle?
2) How can you retrieve the seedlings from the glass bottle?
3) When the seedlings are out of the glass bottle, how/ where do you grow them?
What are the growing conditions: growing media, amount of light & water, etc
4) What do you think the orchid will look like in its adult stage?
This is the name of the orchid: Aranthera Chao Praya Fire

Method)Seedlings usually have a high mortality rate, so unless one has time to rewash the pots when the seedlings die, then do one consider investing in such pots.
ReplyDeleteTry not to pull off the dead parts as you may rip the delicate seedling apart - use a clean sterilized pair of scissors instead.Open up the flask to aerate it for a day. This is to enable the flasked plants to acclimatize with the external environment.
Some choose to skip this step but I am doing this as it is more of a habit.
On the other hand, in our humid and hot environment, the agar medium may be more prone to contamination when left opened for too long. Line your work surface with newspaper to catch any debris for ease of cleaning up later.
Lay another 3 to 4 sheets of newspaper in the centre.The purpose of those extra pieces of newspaper is to wrap up the opened flask.Wrap the flask tightly in the extra sheets of newspaper and hold the ends firmly with one hand.With the free hand, use either a pair of pliers or a hammer to knock the bottom of the flask.
Some flasks are specially designed to have a bottom rim that is thinner than the rest of the flask, resulting in a clean break.
Some growers wouldl use a glass cutter to score the bottom rim before breaking.When a clean cracking sound is heard, the flask would been broken sufficiently.
we can retrieve the seedling by breaking the glass bottle
ReplyDelete1.teacher puted a jelly like thing to absorb water vapour and the plant will still growing.
ReplyDelete2.We can retrieve the seedling by breaking the glass.
3.We should grow them in a sunny place with suitable soil,and the amount of water can't be too much.

Answers:
ReplyDeleteQ1)The seedlings are grown in a glass bottle to find out how are the seedlings going to survive
without water given everyday.
Q2) I can retrieve the seedlings from the glass bottle by wrapping the glass bottle with 4 to 6 layers of newspapers.After that,I wear a pair of gloves to prevent from cutting myself.Then, I use a hammer to break open the glass bottle.
Q3)I will grow them in charcoal and moss.I will give them the correct amount of light and water.
Q4)I think the orchid will have red petals in its adult stage.
