Harris, it's fine to answer yor question here since i searched all the info online. There are many, read through, pick up the details and note down.

Media preparation and sterilising procedure were similar to orchid seeds.

Instead of using autoclave i use home pressure cooker to cook the media for 20 minutes ( take the reading once the pressure built up ). Dont use/share the pr.cooker for home food preparation. Get a new one. There are many brand to choose. A China made cost approx RM130.00 which, like most for home use, will achieve 15 psi. Any less cooking have to be adjusted.

Cooked media in jar - leave them for 7 days or longer to make sure no mold form.

If still have doubt please post here so every member can discuss.
