Orchid Seed Sowing Medium

  • Product ID: P723

Introduction:

This medium is a modification of P668 which has shown to be too high in salt concentration as a seed propagation medium. This medium is modified by reducing the major inorganic salts by ½x. The reduction of salt helps promote the germination of seed of many epiphytic & terrestrial species. Germination may be enhanced by adding 50 mL of coconut water (C195) per liter of medium.

P723 Orchid Seed Sowing Medium Contains Charcoal and Agar Mother Flasking Medium II
