<p><strong>Background:</strong> <em>Phalaenopsis</em> is an orchid of economic importance worldwide. Its natural reproduction is slow due to its monopodial growth (a single apical meristem). Therefore, it is necessary to make <em>in vitro</em> propagation protocols more efficient. <strong>Objectives:</strong> 1. To evaluate three concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in combination with three of 6-Benzyl Adenine (BA) in the <em>in vitro</em> induction of protocormic like bodies (PLBs) at from leaf explants of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. var. Dudu, under three periods of darkness, 2. To test the effect of four concentrations of honey water and fermented sap, as organic complexes (CO), on the <em>in vitro</em> multiplication rate of PLBs. <strong>Methodology:</strong> Two tests were carried out: Test 1. Three concentrations of 2,4-D (3, 4, 5 mgL^-1) and three of BA (1, 2, 3 mgL^-1) were evaluated in leaf explants of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp., combined with three periods of darkness 14, 21, 28 days in a completely randomized design with a trifactorial arrangement (27x10). Test 2. Four concentrations of honey water and fermented sap (0, 10, 50, 100 mlL^-1) were evaluated, arranged in a completely random design (8x10). <strong>Results:</strong> The best combination of plant growth regulators (PGR) for the formation of PLBs (14 PLBs/explant) was with 5 mgL^-1 of 2,4-D and 2 mgL^-1 of BA, during 21 days of darkness. Regarding the use of CO, the addition of 10 mlL^-1 of fermented sap and 50 mlL^-1 of honey water induced the highest rates of multiplication of PLBs/explant (41.4 and 39.6 PLBs). The regeneration of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. from PLBs occurred in 225 days. <strong>Implications:</strong> The results obtained in the two trials are the basis for establishing a protocol for the multiplication of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The combination of 5 mgL^-1 of 2,4-D and 2 mgL^-1 of BA produced the highest number of PLBs/explant (14) at 21 days of darkness and subsequent light exposure for six weeks. On the other hand, the addition of 10 mlL^-1 of fermented sap and 50 mlL^-1 of honey water as CO induced the highest rates of PLBs multiplication (41.4 and 39.6 PLBs, respectively). 100% survival of seedlings was observed after 21 days of acclimatization, under greenhouse conditions.</p>
