Phalaenopsis Inflorescence

Phalaenopsis Bl.

The Phalaenopsis inflorescence is a key morphological trait in variety testing, evaluated by inflorescence stalk length and flower count. Inflorescence parameters serve as the basis for classifying varieties into pot and cut flower types.

In the reference 61 varieties crop Moth Orchid, where this is mentioned in the description.

Under DUS testing protocols, the Phalaenopsis inflorescence stalk length is measured in centimeters, categorizing varieties into groups ranging from miniature types up to 20 cm in height to commercial cut flower varieties reaching 70–100 cm. The number of flowers per inflorescence is also a mandatory quantitative indicator for the registration of new varieties.

Phalaenopsis breeding is focused on the functional purpose of the inflorescence: for commercial cut flowers, plants with sturdy, long stalks capable of producing several spikes per year are selected. In pot culture, priority is given to compactness and the decorative qualities of the inflorescence, which acts as the primary diagnostic trait for identifying varietal identity.
