Moon Orchid (Phalaenopsis sp.) is an ornamental plant that has attractive flowers and has economic value. Cultivation can be optimized by modifying the MS medium. The addition of natural growth regulators with the right concentration can support the success of tissue culture and can also reduce costs. This study aims to determine the addition of water hyacinth root extract in the first subculture stage of the moon orchid. This study used a factorial completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 6 replications, namely: MS0 (MS medium), MS1 (MS medium + 10% water hyacinth root extract), MS2 (MS media + 15% water hyacinth root extract), and MS3 (MS medium + 20% water hyacinth root extract). Observation variables included: number of leaves, number of roots, and plantlet height. The results showed that there was an interaction between MS media and the addition of water hyacinth root extract in the first subculture stage of the moon orchid on MS3 media (MS media + 20% water hyacinth root extract) indicating optimal results on the three parameters, namely: number of leaves 5, 2 strands, the number of roots 5.8 fruit, and plantlet height 2.3 cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
