Variety traits
Phalaenopsis bud
Phalaenopsis Bl.
The Phalaenopsis bud is a key morphological trait for variety testing, determining the ornamental value and productivity of the flower spike.
In the reference 13 varieties crop Moth Orchid, where this is mentioned in the description.
The number of buds on a flower spike is genetically determined and varies from a few in large-flowered hybrids to hundreds in species plants. Bud size is classified by diameter: 2–4 cm is characteristic for mini-varieties, average values range from 5–7 cm, and for the grandiflora group, the size exceeds 10 cm.
Phalaenopsis buds serve as a critical indicator of the plant's health and growing conditions. Temperatures rising above 28°C often lead to a reduction in the total number of buds, while dry air triggers their abortion. In addition to quantitative indicators, the shape, color, and structure of the bud are important selection traits.
