Propagatiaon of Dendrobium

1. Propagation In Conventional
a. Conventional vegetative propagation
Conventional vegetative propagation can be done through a resolution / separation of family and children or cutting plants out of the trunk, who then planted into the same medium such as ferns, mos coconut fiber, charcoal, wood shavings, with a mixture of broken tiles or bricks. Vegetative Propagation of this plant will produce children who have genetic properties similar to its parent.

2.Dendrobium orchids can multiply by tissue culture.
In vitro culture is a method to isolate parts of plants such as protoplasm, cells, tissues or organs are sterile, grown in sterile artificial media, in a sterile culture bottles and aseptic conditions, so that those parts which regenerate into complete plants .
Basic theory is a theory used totipotensi written by Schleiden and Schwann (Suryowinoto and Suryowinoto, 1977) which states that totipotensi theory is part of the living plant has totipotensi, when cultured in appropriate media, will be able to grow and develop into a perfect plant , that is able to reproduce normally reproduce by seeds or spores.
There are several ways the implementation of culture in vitro, depending on planting material and digunaka media as part of the plant protoplasm, cells, a group of cells, tissues and organs and grow them in aseptic conditions, so that these parts can be propagated and regenerated into whole plants back ( Gunawan, 1992).
Sexual plant propagation through in vitro culture has been developed for orchid plants. This plant has a fruit with seeds of a very large and small ukuranya like powdered flour (Lucky Santoso 2004) then it is called seed.
In Dendrobium plant breeding programs, generally conducted artificial crosses between the parent plant (P) to produce a new hybrid. Crosses made more easily managed if done between plants with a close kinship.
Pollination and fertilization can be successful but after the artificial crosses are often encountered problems such as fallen fruit that formed when the embryo was not yet ripe, the fruit is formed with a small endosperm or embryos formed fruits with small and weak. These conditions can inhibit plant breeding programs for the young embryo, the embryo with a small endosperm or embryos are often small and weak can not normally germinate in ordinary conditions.
To overcome this mentioned above, these embryos can be saved and planted in aseptic in artificial media that can germinate and produce plants intact. Techniques for planting a young embryo is known as embryo rescue (embryo rescue).
In addition to the embryo rescue technique is known as an embryo culture techniques (embryo culture), the planting of mature embryos on artificial medium in aseptic. This embryo culture applications include plant propagation, breaking dormancy for the glorification of the program and accelerate the multiplication of plants that are naturally hard to germinate, such as orchids.
