Abstract
The application of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) during the acclimatization of Dendrobium orchids increased plant height and leaf length. The optimal LOF concentration for achieving a plant height of 6.66 cm was is 1 ml/L applied at 2-day intervals, while the optimal leaf width of 5.44 cm was achieved with 2 and 3 ml/L applied at 3-day and 4-day intervals, respectively. LOF concentrations significantly affected leaf width, root number, and root length. The optimal LOF concentration for these variables was 2 ml/L. Additionally, the interval of LOF application significantly affected leaf and shoot numbers, with the optimal interval for these two variables being every 2 days. The research finding provided s sa significant perspective on using liquid organic fertilizer during the acclimatization stage of tissue culture propagation of orchid plants.
