I have some questions. Is it OK to recycle your pro-mix? Is this when you
bake it (when it has been previously used)? Should I discard used mix and
bake fresh?

I wish I could find this pro mix brand, is it a brand?
Recycle, I wouldn't think so, not for seedlings anyway. I am going to dump
mine on the ground after repotting the seedlings into cel-paks.
The first mix that I tried was Ferti-Loam potting soil and it grew major
green slime. That went into the trash. The last mix that I bought had
pieces of bark and charcoal and was coarse and more porous. Hardly any green
stuff growing after two weeks and I have three varieties of seedlings coming
up.
Like I said before at least I am not killing orchids this winter, I just have
two phalenopsis that have survived and doing well.
Later,
Narda
