I might be the last to know this but a couple of months ago when I wanted to start some more seeds I looked all over the internet to find different ways to start them. I had started them before and have some that are 1, 2 and 3 years old but wanted to find the best way to grow as many as I can. I tried three different ways but found that the best way was on this site:

The only thing that I do different is to put them in warm water with some orchid food for a couple of hours before I place them on the paper towel and put them in the bag. I hang the bags in the water heater cupboard and had started two bags, and all of the seeds that I had left from last year about 6 days ago. And just now checked them and at least half of them have little white roots coming out of them. Since it has only been 6 days I am thinking that most of them will start. I have 3 seedpods that should be ready soon and wanted to use up the old ones that I had. This has been the easiest way to start them for me. I will be putting them in catcus mix within the next week.

I just wanted to share this with anyone that has problems starting seeds.

Enjoy, Barbara

p.s. This is not my site, just found it and wanted to share this information.
