Progress of Seedlings

A year has passed.. some seeds germinate and grow faster than the others. Some have been reflasked few times to a stage where they can be sold / deflask into new seedling pots. So basically many can be sold now!

Seedlings ready to be reflasked and deflasked
Newly sown seeds
Dendrobium seedlings
Phalaenopsis corningiana 'Red'
Deflasked Phalaenopsis gigantea
Deflasked  Phalaenopsis bellina

Reminder...

Before I forgot..

1- Etanol - 2 x RM40
2- ACA - 1 x RM400
3- minus debt RM90

Balance to receive from Hj RM390

Things to order 4 bottle etanol and to check sterilized plastic container for reflasking / preparing plant order. Will check with Dr Anbu / AHS.

Also to check with AHS to do maintenance for the laminar flow which has not been serviced more than a year.

What has happened for the past one year?

Gosh.. a lot i guess! Mostly in sowing seeds, reflasking, deflasking, ordering chemicals and fixing the lab. But the progress is so slow and not up to my expectation..

- Hj Naza can't do it alone. The task is time consuming
- Assistant is needed
- The contaminated flask need to be saved / reflask
- Some seedlings need to be grown outside after a while
- Many can be reflasked for sale. The right size for sale can be harvested by now

In fact Hj has started selling some flasks at Taman Orkid in late this year. The collection can now be saved in one account so as to track the sale of flask.


All these need planning. How can we do it better?..

On the personal side, met many FB friends which shared the same interest. Exchanging seeds with friends overseas, visiting orchid show In thailand, meeting friend in Indonesia and many more. It is such a blessing year indeed!

Reborn..

Wow! i haven't posted anything for a year (since my last post in July 2013).

Isn't this line sound just like last year post? hahaha..  i refuse to post anything  since i did not make a good progress in 2014. but, this time around, i HAVE to.. else, what i plan will only be a plan. so what's the plan?

2015 will see sale of our 'fruit'.. our flasks which have been sown for the past 1 year plus. Things to do by end 2014;

- register new website
- redesign the web
- open an FB account
- update all flasks which can be reflask for sale

that's my immediate target!

long term one?.. hmm, still thinking. okay, dreaming is better than sleeping  :)

Huru Hara Trip to Mount Kinabalu

Sabah is like a 'must' go place every year. It is like my second home if not for diving, hiking or just chilling with friends. Our trip hiking the Kinabalu mountain this time started from Mesilau and ended at Timpohon. It was sure a fun trip..
