• Breeding generative:
Propagation by seed ripe fruit.

• Breeding vegetative:
Breeding by taking the parent plant as:
o Stek for monopodial type.
o Splitting clumps for simpodial type.
Keiki o, ie children who grow plants from stem top (dendrobium), or flower stalks (phalaenopsis).
o tissue culture, which is taking part for the augmented plant tissue through the process in the laboratory. In this way could produce a virus-free plants, although infected with the parent plant.
