Hi.

I was wondering what anyone knows about performance of polyploid
orchids ?

Anyone every tried a light application of colchicine to induce a ploidy
doubling ? I would imagine this could produce some incredible results
if the plants are able to tolerate it.

This is by no means a new idea. It's been done for years.
Do a Google search for "Colchicine on Orchids" and you will get this page:

I suspect you will find some interesting reading there somewhere.
