Hi all
I was talking to a commercial breeder here recently and he said that
when they use phalaenopsis mericlones to breed they get little seed but the
growers with the mother plants seem to get alot based on the number of
flasks they have available.
This is making the exact cross, using the same parents but the
mericloned forms.
Reasons discussed for this could be
Environmental
Flasking techniques
Somehow manipulating the tissue in culture
Anyone shed anymore info on this whether hard facts or even personal
observations.
