Propagation protocol for Ram's Head Lady's Slipper Cypripedium Arietinum

Abstract:

Adaptation of tissue culture methods yields vigorous ram's head lady's slipper (Cypripedium arietinum Ait. f. [Orchidaceae]) seedlings ready for removal from flasks after 11 to 12 mo. Following vernalization, these seedlings grow into robust green plants that typically bloom 2 to 3 y after outplanting.
