Cypripedium californicum-potting up video

Well a week late but the plants look good. I put up this video at UTube that show the 7 seedlings condition, the substrate I am using, the potted plants, the top-dressed plants, & the plants placed in their growing site.
The growing site on the northside of what is left of my greenhouse and is generally shaded except for a period during midday where the sun may shine on the plants for about 2 to maybe 3 hours. More exposure on full grown plants is probably suitable, perhaps up to 5 hours depending upon watering schedules.
The plants will be watered with reverse osmosis water. I may fertilize using a quarter dilution of Miracle Gro Liquid Plant Food, but not too sure as to the number of applications.
Hopefully the animals that frequent my yard: cats, opposums, raccoons, etc. will leave them be. So far they have not been damaged by the animals. But it is kind of scary when two racccoons are fighting and chasing each other around in the yard!!

Hope I got all the bases covered?
