Vigor of Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis Bl.

A qualitative characteristic of a plant's biological potential, determined by breeders based on the rate of vegetative mass accumulation and the condition of the root system.

In the reference 20 varieties crop Moth Orchid, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Phalaenopsis, vigor is a descriptive criterion that is assessed by experts through visual diagnosis of healthy roots with active tips and the rate of leaf formation. This indicator is taken into account by breeders when selecting hybrids, alongside flower shape and peduncle quality, often correlating with genetic features such as polyploidy.

In the commercial breeding process, vigor does not have strictly standardized numerical values and is determined by a comparative method within market segments. Specialists aim to maintain a balance between development energy and the preservation of the plant's compactness, as excessive vegetative development can reduce the consumer value of hybrids.
