Effect of Coconut Water and Peptone in Micropropagation of Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume Orchid

Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume Orchid is one of the species in genus and are well-known as exotic beautiful white flowers. Besides that, there little continuity mass propagation that produce many standardized seedlings a relatively short period to satisfy market demand. This study was focusing on evaluating effect natural additives plant growth regulators (PGR). PGR used nutritional constituents media culture enhance explants. The this were coconut water peptone at different concentration, which 5 %, 7.5 10 % (CW) 1 2 supplemented Murashige Skoog (MS) medium. These added examine height plantlets, number leaves, roots after months cultured. Result showed addition 5% CW treatment recorded highest plantlet 1.14±0.060 cm. leaves with 2.18±0.507 observed 11 (7.5 peptone) 1.928±0.286 from 9 (0% 2% peptone). Coconut has been proved can stimulate proliferation plus existence may help development increase percentage survival rate due content carbon nitrogen sources. observation all treatments produces healthy explants additive substitute use synthetic PGR.
