Where to meristem clone orchids. Male
Default Where to meristem clone orchids.

Hello all,

I have a plant that I bought that is very important to me and would like to know where I could bring it to get it cloned through tissue culture propagation.

It has some issues and while there are definitely clean leads, I think there might be a rot problem and I want some backups, even if it is expensive and yields many plants.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find someone who does this?

Thank you.

interesting! never really thought about it, but i talked with a person who said they were getting the materials to be able to do it...so maybe you could go that route?

curious myself, a quick google search i see only 2 hits that seem reasonable, one in australia the other in saint johns michigan, of all places! that place is called orchid origins, but it’s just a Facebook group, so i don’t know how legit they are

best of luck!

What kind of plant?

In some plants, it’s an easy process, but in others, you end up destroying the existing plant to extract the meristem.

It is a unifoliate Cattleya hybrid.

So that means that the lab would need a new growth front from which it can extract the meristem.

Might I suggest an alternative: Dose the plant with Kelpak to pump up the resources, and smear copious amounts of keiki-inducing hormones all over the bases of existing growths, old and new. That has been shown to "awaken" dormant growth fronts.

This place looks good, but I haven't used it (yet).

I had called them, but they weren’t interested in doing Cattleyas.

Wow, so they choose which plants they are going to work with? That's disappointing. Thanks for that info.

How about Orchids for the People?

Apparently it seems to be easier to tissue culture Cymbidiums as I see a lot of people advertising that. They just said at the time, they were not working on Cattleyas. That said, it may also be they rejected me because I was honest and said my plants weren’t in the best of health.

I still have some kelpmax from several months to a year ago. I wonder if it’s still good. I just bought some keiki paste too that will be here on Monday. I think the biggest problem is that there is some kind of rot on part of the rhizome. I think it is maybe root rot that spread. I am going to try to kill/slow that with systemics. I have Alliette and thiomyl to do that. I think when I got the division, it caught this during its travels in the mail. It then went undetected as the rhizome was under the moss.
