I've sent off to an orchid house and I've got a bottle of orchid plants, baby ones that have been cultured in a laboratory, how in the world do I get these little plants out of this glass bottle?

In the 1^st place you should have never bought a bottle or orchids unless you were experienced with them or know of somebody who can help you.

If you have however bought a flask of orchids or brought them home from another country-you had better find somebody who can help you with this process to ensure that the baby plants will live.

There are different ways of getting them out of there bottle-1 is to score the bottle with a glass cutter, wrap it up in newspaper and give it a sharp rap with a hammer CUT each other if we can and pot them up in little pots and make sure that they grow into an area which is very low stress, an area that is not to bright and no to hot and that has enough moisture, they must never dry out, and there conditions must be very stable morning, noon and night for at least a year.
