Various lengths of flower stalks were used for in vitro propagation of Phaius tankervilleae as explants. Apical flower buds, flower buds, and vegetative buds in flower stalks were taken as explants to establish in vitro cultures. The results showed that the length short 5 cm flower stalks had a 66.7% shoot formation, and was a record in apical flower buds. However, the highest shoot formation rate was for flower buds and vegetative buds, respectively. Two types of explants, derived from flower buds or vegetative buds, were used for consecutive multiplication experiments. Explants were removed from their leaves and roots before monthly subculture and a 1.3-1.9 times shoot proliferation rate was obtained. Explants were transferred to a rooting medium for 2-mo culture. Plantlets were then deflasked in a greenhouse for 2-month culture. There was a 75%-87.5% plantlet survival rate that was derived from different original explants.
