Hi all happy new year
I am having a little difficulty with conflicting advise as to what chemicals,at
what strength and for what period of time to soak dry orchid seed
Here in Australia we have product called 'White King" Bleach
I have been recommended to use between 4% to as high as 25% from various other
labs around Australia
Its percentage of Sodium hypochlorite is 42 grams per liter. Sorry USA guys
metric here!
The dry seed is emersed in a solution of white king and water,but the solution
rates vary wildly.
I have tried Calcium Hypochlorite, Benzocodium Chloride (forgive the incorrect
spelling ) But I am having wildly varying success.
Can someone guide me as to the correct rates and times for dry seed.
I have been advised 10 minutes soaking time is correct.
Kind Regards,
