Complete instant medium with gelling agent, ready to use. |
This is a revised composition by Svante Malmgren as published |
by Raennbaeck in 2007 for sowing terrestrial European orchids. |
It contains amino acids and vitamins as described by Malmgren. |
Malmgren uses NH3 in water to adjust the pH of the acidic |
pinapple and states this gieves a further 100-150 mg/L of |
organic nitrogen, this is considered by adding (NH4)3-citrate. |
Several genera are sown by Malmgren on this medium, like |
Dactylorhiza, Gymnadenia, Orchis and more. Likely because |
of a typo Raennbaeck does not list vitamins. They are added |
here as listed for all other Malmgren media in her paper. |
|
Does not contain plant growth regulators. pH is adjusted to 5.7-5.9. |
