Saw that my boss had 3D printed calipers a few days back, so over the weekend I asked if he could print me a pair too. Was even able to add my orchid “business” name too 😭❤️

Im so proud of myself 😅 I thought of a very simple solution to an annoying problem of mine.

I sow my orchid seeds dry, which means they need to be sterilized prior to sowing. To do this, I just suspend them in some hydrogen peroxide inside of a small syringe.

A bit of a formal introduction:

I’m Cody, and I’ve been growing orchids in some fashion since I was 14

Have always had an interest in breeding orchids and just recently got a glove box to start sowing seed at home.

Interested in genetics, virology, and planty stuff.

Two crosses recently made I’m excited for.

I’ve been slacking on making tags for maturing pods, so I caught up this weekend on those that definitely look to be maturing well.

Also wild to see I attempted over sixty pods this last year.
