In the wild,Phalaenopsis parishiican be found growing in humid areas. This miniature orchid species produces flattened roots that nestle into the damp, moss laden branches, which overhang streams and ponds, in the areas where this plant makes its home.Phalaenopsis parishiiandPhalaenopsis parishii alba...
To shorten vegetative stage and induce transition from vegetative to reproductive stage in orchids, we overexpressed Phalaenopsis amabilis Flowering LocusT (PaFT) gene under the control of Ubiquitin promoter into protocorm of Indonesian Wild Orchid Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume. The dynamic expression...
You only need to see the outdoor orchid garden at a resort on Kauai, or the orchids growing wild on the trees lining ‘Alligator Alley’ in Florida to be convinced. Keep reading to find 7 surprising things you didn't know about caring for Phalaenopsis orchids. 1 | Orchids Thrive On Negl...
To repot...or not.Repotting orchid is necessary every couple years because the fine-grade fir bark they grow in will decompose and become compact. An epiphyte in the wild, this orchid likes some air around its roots. The best timeto repot is in the spring, immediately after flowering is ...
Phals originate in Southeast Asia, but there are now many thousands of man-made hybrid varieties, many of which look quite different from the 60-or-so wild species. Fortunately, similar orchid care instructions are approprate for all the different Moth Orchids. Actually, most of the commonly-...
which is fast becoming one of the most popular orchid genera but is very difficult to propagate vegetatively. Out of the several techniques that have been developed forinvitropropagation of this popular orchid, most involve culturing the dormant buds present at the basal part of theinflorescence(...
1. Materials needed to repot an orchid You’ll need a pot that’s only 1 inch wider in diameter than the pot your orchid is already in. Phalaenopsis orchids are epiphytes, meaning that in the wild their roots cling to tree branches, rather than delving into the soil. Orchids perform the...

However, the timely tracking of growth of the pollen tube between pollination and fertilization in orchid ovary remains limited. One reason for this is the lack of a reliable staining protocol to monitor pollen tubes in ovaries. Here, we report a robust pollen tube staining protocol that enables...
These methods were used to systematically screen many differentially expressed cDNA fragments in the wild-type strain and somaclonal variants10,11. Several differentially expressed transcripts related to flower development and flower colour were identified10,11. Two orchid transcriptomic databases have been...
