I was reffering about having flasks taken from me at the departure point - not having plants confiscated at the arrival end.
Anyway it looks as though Simon got through ok !!!

Hi all,
this early morning I finally landed in Milan.

Then, at home, I opened my luggage and checked the flasks. As I expected, everything was mixed up, not good for the orchids, but neither for the mold.

So I opened the flasks, washed very well the plants both from agar and fungis, put on a paper half an hour and finally on top of five small boxes (6X6 inches) over 3 inches of a mix of sfagnum with a bit of bark.
I placed the containers beside a well lighted window, partially shaded. I am going to give more light as soon as the orchids recover from stress.

I decided not to treat the plants, but I have eliminated every injured or death root.

If you like I could post some pictures.

Any advice?
Simon
