Dendrobium Jaquelyn
Thomas type orchids are traditional cut-flower varieties. Prolific bloomers with
medium to large plant body, these were primarily bred for cut-flower production,
but have grown in popularity as pot-plants. Year-round blooming can be expected.
Each variety with a UH code has been developed by the University of Hawaii and
has undergone preliminary trials by the Orchideology Department. Uniform and productive,
we consider these plants to be the staple for all cut-flower as well as the pot-plant
businesses in the State of Hawaii.
These orchid seedlings
are grown in 98-cell trays with a minimum of 90 plants per tray. One variety
per tray only. Average plant height ranges from 3 to 5 inches (or 7.5 to 12.5
centimeters). For our own production we transplant these to 3.5" square
pots, but some people may prefer to transplant them into 2.25" pots.
The average growing to blooming time based on Hawaii conditions is 7 to 10 months.
Codes starting with "M" are mericlones. All others are hybrids (i.e.,
produced by seed).
