Abstract excerpt
Phalaenopsis is an economically important horticultural ornamental, but its growth is slow and costly. The vegetative cultivation phase is long and required to ensure sufficient plant size. This is needed to develop high quality flowering plants. We studied the effects of temperature (27 or 31 °C) and light intensity (60 or 140 μmol m-2 s-1) on plant growth and development during the vegetative cultivation phase...
