• Sterile Seeding: Sowing must be performed in a highly sterile environment (flasking) using a glove box or laminar flow hood to prevent fungal contamination.
• Growing Medium: Use a specialized orchid agar medium (like P668) containing essential sugars and nutrients. Home soil will not work.
• Temperature: Germinate seeds at a consistent 18–24°C (65–75°F). In the Gulf, this requires 24/7 air conditioning.
• Humidity: Maintain extremely high humidity (70% to 90%). Use a humidifier or a closed terrarium system with a small fan for air circulation.
• Light: Provide low to moderate indirect light. Avoid direct Gulf sunlight, which will quickly scorch the delicate leaves.
• Watering: Use only distilled, reverse osmosis (RO), or rainwater once seedlings are deflasked. Keep the medium (sphagnum moss and perlite) consistently moist.
