IN VITRO GERMINATION AND ITS SUBSEQUENT GROWTH OF AN ORCHID OF VANDA TRICOLOR LINDL. VAR. SUAVIS FROM BALI ON COMPLEX ADDITIVES ENRICHED MEDIUM
ABSTRACT: Vanda tricolor
Lindl. var. suavis is an Indonesian wild orchid that has been rare in
nature, so it needs attention to take
care and conserve them. The objective of
the research was to investigate the effect of coconut water and / or tomato
juice on the growth of protocorm of V. tricolor Lindl. var suavis from Bali
grown in vitro. The experiment was laid out in the factorial design, with two
factors (coconut water/CW and tomato juice/TJ), each contained three
concentration (CW: 0, 100, and 200 cc L-1; TJ: 0, 100 and 200 g L-1) resulted
in nine combination of treatments and replicated four times. The results showed that tomato juice with
concentration of 100 gL-1 or 200 gL-1 promotes growth of protocorms of Vanda
tricolor Lindl. var. suavis from Bali regardless the presence of coconut water.
