The rapid clonal propagation of Phalaenopsis plantlets by shake culture was investigated. The plantlets propagated by shake culture were rapidly grown compared to agar culture. The dry weight of shoots cultured in shake culture was 5 times largar, and maximum shoot length was 2 times greater compared to that of agar culture. Protocorm like body (PLB) production was also stimulated by shake culture. The dry weight content (DW/FW ratio) of the plantlets grown in shake culture was slightly lower compared to agar culture. The plantlets thus produced were transplanted into soil and both agar- and shake-cultured plantlets were well reestablished in soil.
