INTRODUCTION
 Family- Orchidaceae
 Orchids are monocots
 They exhibit a wide range of diversity in form, size, color and
texture of flowers beyond the imagination of human mind
orchids
Cut flower Pot plants
Growth
habitat
Terrestrial
orchids
Lithophytes Epiphytes
 There are three groups according to growth habitat
 Grown in soil
 Nearly all orchids grown in
temperate zone
 Some tropical orchids
 Grown on rocks  Prefer filtered light
 Modified aerial roots
Eg- strap leaves vanda
 There are two growth patterns of the stem
1. Sympodial
2. Monopodial
2. Monopodial
 Stem grows from a single bud
 Stem grows longer stem can reach several meters in produce aerial roots
 Do not have pseudo bulb
Eg- Vanda, Phalaenopsis, Arachnis
1. Sympodial
 Apical bud grows horizontally
 Produce a series of adjacent shoots
 Have pseudo bulb
Eg- dendrobium, cattleya, oncidium, cymbidium

How to propagate orchid - Cutting
 Orchid like Phalaenopsis, vanda and Dendrobium can be propagated
by cutting.
 Cut ends should treated with fungicides to prevent rotting.
 Most of the sympodial orchids like catteleya, Dendrobium and
cymbidium are propagated through this method.
How to propagate orchid - Divisions
 Common method used for sympodial orchids
 Over grown plants are separated in to parts with 3-4 pseudo bulbs
foreach divisions
 Treat with fungicide before planting
How to propagate orchid  Pseudo bulbs
 Leafless pseudo bulbs are separated and planted in a sand bed
 After 6 weeks produce roots and can be planted as a new plant
How to propagate orchid- off shoots and keikis
 Same monopodium orchids like Ascocenda, phalaennopis, keikis or
off shoots emerge frequently on the main stem.
 Induction of keikis can also be induced through the use of cytokinins
which force the dormant bud to develop into keikis.
How to propagate orchid- Aerial shoots
 Some old pseudo bulbs produced aerial suckers in sympodial plants
 They can be separated and planted
How to propagate orchid- seeds
 Seeds get artificial pollination
 Harvesting mature pods before spilt
How to propagate orchid- Tissue culture
 Tissue culture technique is highly successful to get virus free plants
 Production of exact copies of plants that produce particularly good
flowers
 To quickly produce mature plants
Potting of orchids
Growing media
Broken bricks : charcoal  1:1
Granite chips : coir dust  3:1
Granite chips : leaf mold : coir dust  1:1:1
Coconut husk use in seedling stage
Growing Pots
Porous clay pots
Plastic pots
Net pots
Slatted wooden basket/ crates

Cultural practices of orchids
Shade
Black nyloned netting 8 ft above plants
Too high shade  Dark green leaves, no flowers
Too low shade  yellowish leaves
Good light  light green leaves
Orchid house
Keep plants higher from ground
Tables  wire mesh, concrete beam
Height of tables  4.5ft- 5ft
Potted plant- arranged closed on tables to give high RH
Irrigation
Once a day thoroughly
Dry season  twice a day
Keep the surroundings constantly wet
Avoid water stagnation near roots and between leaves
Weed control
Diuron - very low concentration
Only on to weeds/ mosses
Fertilizer application
Regular nutrient supply is necessary
Only liquid fertilizer
As a foliar applications or included with irrigation water
Harvesting
 4-5 days after flower opening
 Harvesting stage
dendrobium- 2/3 of inflorescence open and 1/3 unopen
Vanda- with 2/3 unopened flowers
Arachnis- all flowers open or with 1-2 cm open flower
Pests and diseases of orchid
Pests Diseases
Orchid yellow beetle Crown rot
Shoot/stem borer Bacterial soft and brown rot
Mites Bacterial brown spot
Scales Root rot
Mealy bugs Mosaic Virus
Slugs and snails
Cockroaches
Packing
