 because of this orchard interest slightly different from the other plants. Seeds out of the fruit of the orchid that has been cooked unlike most other crop seeds. Orchid seeds microscopic almost like flour and in the fruit produced millions of seeds. 

Orchid seeds can not germinate just because the seeds do not have a reserve of food. Orchid seeds can grow in nature if getting extra food from a fungus that lives in the roots of the adult orchid called mychoriza. Now it has create techniques to plant the seeds of orchids by artificial planting medium comprising the chemical compounds needed by orchid seeds to germinate.

Important factors in orchid seed germination and growth, among others:

a) Carbohydrate; carbohydrate elements needed in germination is usually a simple sugar oligosaccharides group and is commonly used in artificial medium, namely: sucrose and fructose. This sugar is needed seeds to germinate (sprout out of seeds) and as food reserves before the buds are able to form their own food.

b) Nitrogen; ammonia, nitrate and urea in the germination of seeds are used as the main material forming plant cells.

c) Mineral; elements of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) is a mineral needed in large quantities and used in the form of complex compounds. Without these elements were already germinating orchid buds will die but if the levels in the medium is too thick will cause toxicity to plants. Levels of the elements above that recommended is 40 mg / L media.

d) Irradiation; orchid plants need as a basic requirement in the process of establishing food reserves a process called photosynthesis. Intensity required between 400 lux - 3000 lux. Rays used can diffuse sunlight, fluorescent lamps and lights Cool White. General measure that is often used is a white 40-watt fluorescent lamp placed 1.5 to 2 meters of shelves place/ bottle germination. The smaller the power used within the lamp closer to the plants.

e) Temperature; optimal germination temperature is used for all types of orchids between 20oC - 25oC. Temperature is too high will cause the withering because evaporation is too large, while the temperature is too cold causes slow plant growth.

f) pH (acidity) media; planting medium pH ranging from 4.8 to 5.2 with a tolerance range of between 3.6 to 7.6. Keep in mind during the shoot growth medium acidity orchids can be changed.

g) Vitamins and Hormones; The second element is used to spur the growth of shoots. Besides being used in the form of pure compounds, vitamins and hormones additiv obtained from the use of substances in media such as bananas, potatoes, tomatoes and other fruits.

By using artificial media in orchid seeds germinate can raise the percentage of successful germination of orchid seeds are naturally of 5% -8% germination to 60% -80%.
