After carefully deflasking, I potted them in both LFS and peat perlite mixture.

Two days has passed, and they look not bad

Congrats! Seems you put many plants together

Looks like they arrived in excellent condition!

I noticed that too. We usually separate them all into small individual plants. But leaving them clumped will work OK as well. They'll just need to be repotted sooner.

Thanks for your comments.

I'm worried if I break them apart hard, it might open too many wounds and make the plants being easily infected by fungus & bacteria.

If repotting should be done, then how soon should I do that? I'm planning to do it this weekend when I have plenty of time.

Your welcome! It should be easy to separate the plants, but for now, you can let them be as Matt suggested. You can wait until they grow more so that separation becomes easier.

OK, thanks.

Guess I need to be more patient

Yeah, but they grow quickly when they are out of TC.

Did you TC those yourself?

No. I ordered them from Matt.

I wish you best of luck hardening them
Would love to see them stabilized

Dividing the plants doesn't really increase that risk. They're quite sensitive to mold even if they're in clumps. For that reason, we spray all deflasked plants with a fungicide. The only problem I've noticed with leaving them in clumps is that not all of the plants are in contact with the media.

I would just wait until they grow a bit and look overly crowded. Probably 3 or 4 months from now they'll look ridiculously crowded and you can divide and repot them then.

Matt, do you sell unhardened cultivars out of TC normally, or was this a special?

This is an international TC order to China. The only way we sell plants outside of the US is in sterile culture like this. But within the US we do not sell sterile cultures.

Thank you, tish. I plan to post images of them every few weeks and share the joy with anyone who's interested.

Thanks, Matt. The peat & perlite white pot's size is about 18 cm(diameter)x14 cm(height), I wish it can stay a little bit longer

Two weeks after deflasking, not bad

I'm going to increase the light level and decrease the humidity level from now.
