Phalaenopsis Hybrids and Species Offerings

The inventory of Phals changes very quickly in our greenhouse. New exciting things can be seen everyday in the greenhouse and it is impossible for me to keep up with them on the web site, so if in doubt or have a special request, please inquire. Note that the use of the genus name Doritis and it’s hybrids, Doritaenopsis is no longer valid although you can still find it’s use in current references. Doritis is now Phalaenopsis. When available, spiking plants will be chosen to fill your orchid order!

Open Friday and Saturday 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Please call for visits to greenhouse other days to schedule an appointment.

My best way to describe the production of Phalaenopsis. So many of your ask me over the phone to explain seedlings, mericlones, and stem props. This is very simplified for your general information. If you would like greater detail, please consult with a commercial cloning lab.

A seedling is produced by pollinating an Phallie orchid flower with itself or by crossing it to another Phalaenopsis or Phalaenopsis allied genus. A seed pod is formed, seed ripens and it is sowed in a sterile environment and placed on nutrients typically in sterilized bottles or jars.

A mericlone is produced under sterile environments in a laboratory. Phalaenopsis plant tissue is subjected to replicating chemicals and nutrients. Many orchid plants can be produced from this original Phalaenopsis plant tissue. The more orchid plants that are produced from this tissue the more chances you have for slight changes and aberrations. Mericlones are not considered exact duplicates of the original cloned mother plant by many orchid collectors. Sometimes Phalaenopsis orchid plants that are supposed to be clones can have slight obvious differences. Other times, extreme differences.

Stem Prop process is the duplication of the mother plant by using the individual nodes that are formed up and down the flower stem (inflorescence). Each node is excised from the stem, isolated, sterilized and planted into sterile containers that contain a very dilute mixture of replicating chemicals and nutrients. Each node can produce one duplicate plantlet of the original stem mother orchid plant. These individual plants produced from individual nodes, are considered exact duplicates of the Phalaenopsis mother orchid. If fortunate, a wonderful action can occur, multiprops can form basally from your stem prop culture. Multiprops lie somewhere between stem prop and a clone. Multiprops are considered much more exact to parent than mericlones since the duplicating mixture was very dilute. Sometimes if replicating chemical solutions are mixed too strong, death can occur to the node and no Phalaenopsis stem prop will occur.

Keike, the Hawaiian word for baby is also what the plantlets that occur on existing Phalaenopsis stems are called.
