Orchid Tissue Culture - without bud?

[Waadee]

I have an orchid that i wish to clone, but it doesn't have any flowers, it's just leaves. It's a phal. Is there any other part of the plant I can use?

Also, does anyone have any good agar recipes?

It would be best to self the flowers and create some seed. But to clone it, the most efficient method is to take the meristematic tissue from the stems and use in-vitro methods of cloning them (once you've understood and perfected the method of course ).

Maybe just buy more of the plant you like???

Are you up to this kind of task?

The discussion of this forum is completely based on education, conservation and research about the orchid plants. By going through this article, everyone who don’t know to grow the clone of orchid they can also grow the orchid clone. Process of growing the clone of orchid has been discussed on this forum. It’s very interesting article, because very few people know about the American Orchid plant and by going through this topic everyone know about the orchid plant as well to grow the clone of various orchid plant also. So, really it’s a very impressive article about the orchid but if in this article it has been discussed about the some kinds of orchids plants then it will interactive for the user because they were able to know about the kinds of orchids plants also.

It is a substance of removing meristem cells from the center of the plant, while rotating the container so the cells don't differentiate and growing them in a specific medium like hydroponics under controlled conditions. When they are ready, the rotating stops so the cells will differentiate into root and shoot material, the plantlets are then kept in extreme greenhouse conditions until they mature.
