ANIS ORCHID NURSERY

Paphiopedilum orchids continue to gain popularity in the flower industry, but slow plant growth and inefficient propagation by cuttings or divisions have kept them in short supply. Their increase has been by aseptic germination of seeds. Mericloning has not taken hold because easily followed protocols are not available. Indeed, Paphiopedilum species and hybrids remain as the only commercially grown orchids that are not cloned. A major obstacle to the development of tissue culture procedures has been the great difficulty of removing bacterial and fungal infections from explants originating from greenhouse plants.
