Propagation/cultivation of Gastrodia/Non-Photosynthetics
Default Propagation/cultivation of Gastrodia/Non-Photosynthetics

Hello everyone, long time member, infrequent poster.

I am undertaking research on a genus of orchids here in New Zealand, in which we have natives of, called Gastrodia. They are a relatively uncommon plant but I have had the pleasure of locating a few specimens in the wild. I am looking for information or anyone's knowledge in propagating/cultivating of non-photosynthetic orchids. I am very aware of the complexities involved.

As I am active in the conservation and research of orchids, please do not "flame" me about the related issues regarding taking rare plants from the wild, as I do not plan to do so. However, as I am undertaking pollination and seed dispersal studies with the populations and I do have access to a limited number of seed in which I will be undertaking genetic studies to assess allelic diversity, what is left over I would like to make an attempt at cultivation, or at least propagation.

I have access to all resources one would expect of a University Botany department.

This plant is extremely common in Chinese literature, however the language barrier makes it impossible for me to actually extract/access the information from the academic articles, which is a real shame as I believe they have methods of cultivation

For more information on New Zealands native orchids go here New Zealand (NZ) Native Orchids

Otherwise I am open to any info, contacts, experiences, hunches, basically anything anyone can suggest!
