What are the reasons tissue-cultured orchid plantlets are not good
Besides being difficult to grow, tissue-cultured orchid plantlets also have a low survival rate. The low survival rate is related to the special propagation method used for tissue-cultured plantlets: the heavy use of hormones and chemical nutrients leaves the orchid plantlets in poor physical condition, frail and unable to withstand the slightest stress, and poorly adapted to the growing environment after being taken out of the flask, so they tend to sulk, neither dying nor thriving. If they are genuine tissue-cultured orchids, the flowers they produce should be the same as before, unless the wrong goods were sent. In short, tissue-cultured plantlets in the weak-plantlet stage are generally not suitable for growing at home, because these tissue-cultured plantlets themselves have low dry-matter content, poor disease resistance, a low survival rate in home cultivation, and a long cultivation cycle; many unscrupulous traders often pass off ordinary varieties as rare varieties to make money, because tissue-cultured plantlets make it hard to distinguish the characteristics of each variety (they look basically the same); if you want to introduce rare orchid tissue-cultured plantlets, it is advisable to do so at agricultural and forestry research institutes that carry out orchid tissue culture, where quality and variety are guaranteed.
