Abstract: On an appropriate medium,Fujian's Dendrobium candidum Wall.ex Lindl was studied for its seed germination,plantlet strength,rooting and transplantation.The results indicated that the seeds germinated well and quickly on the medium consisting of MS +sucrose 30 g·L-1 +agar 7 g·L-1.To strengthen the plantlet and encourage root formation,the best formulation was found to be 1/4MS +sucrose 40g·L-1 +potato extract 100 mg·L-1+agar 7g·L-1.The transplanting survival rate,average number of new buds and average number of new buds that were longer than 3 cm could best be obtained when the mixture of sawdust and peat in the ratio of 1:2 was used for the plantlet transplantation.

Key words: Dendrobium candidum Wall.ex Lindl, tissue culture, medium
