Phalaenopsis spike branching

Phalaenopsis Bl.

Phalaenopsis branching refers to the ability of the flower spike to form lateral shoots, which increases the total number of flowers and the decorative value of the plant.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Moth Orchid, where this is mentioned in the description.

This trait is an important breeding parameter, which is especially pronounced in the multiflora hybrid group. Spike branching is considered a qualitative characteristic evaluated by the total number of flowers and the presence of lateral branches, as there are no standardized measurement scales for this trait.

The development of a branched spike is an energy-intensive process for the plant. Under insufficient lighting or poor physiological condition of the Phalaenopsis, excessive flowering can lead to the exhaustion of the mother plant. In commercial and amateur floriculture, this trait can also be regulated by pruning the spike above a specific node after the first flowering cycle to stimulate the formation of lateral shoots.
