Commercial orchid growers should know the characteristics of the hybrid and clone which they want to grow besides knowing the cultural practices and the marketing outlets. This paper explained the importance of clonal choice in a hybrid using Aranda Christine and Aranda Kooi Choo as case examples. Clone No. 1 from Aranda Christine is very popular both locally and abroad because of its several unique characteristics. However other clones namely Nos. 05 9 27 55 80 and 130 of the same hybrid were not well-received because they possessed several undesirable traits. Significant differences were found in seven clones of Aranda Kooi Choo with regard to the length of flower stalks and the number of the flower stalks produced. Clone Nos. 4 and 5 produced long flower stalks while clone Nos. 3 and 7 produced the most number of stalks. Clone No. 2 was the least productive

Abstract

Commercial orchid growers should know the characteristics of the hybrid and clone which they want to grow besides knowing the cultural practices and the marketing outlets. This paper explained the importance of clonal choice in a hybrid using Aranda Christine and Aranda Kooi Choo as case examples. Clone No. 1 from Aranda Christine is very popular both locally and abroad because of its several unique characteristics. However other clones namely Nos. 05 9 27 55 80 and 130 of the same hybrid were not well-received because they possessed several undesirable traits. Significant differences were found in seven clones of Aranda Kooi Choo with regard to the length of flower stalks and the number of the flower stalks produced. Clone Nos. 4 and 5 produced long flower stalks while clone Nos. 3 and 7 produced the most number of stalks. Clone No. 2 was the least productive
