| Summary: | Trichopilia suavis is one of the important representatives of the genus Trichopilia, which can be used as a potted plant for the interior design. also, its beautiful inflorescences are added unusual element to bouquet compositions and actively used in the production of perfumes. This study was carried out in order to develop and improve micropropagation method for mass clonal production of T. suavis through protocorm culture. Half-strength Murashige and Skoog culture medium (½) has been modified by adding different organic components and growth regulators. The protocorms obtained from seeds germinated by asymbiotic method were used as explants. The results showed that the optimal treatment for formation of new protocorms (7.50 ± 0.7 units per protocorm) was obtained by culture on ½ MS medium with 0.5 mg L-1 of 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BAP) and 100 mL L-1 of coconut water. At the stage of rooting, the highest number and length of roots (7.0 ± 0.45 units per plantlet, 2.64 ± 0.18 cm) were obtained through subsequent cultivation of plantlets on ½ MS medium with 0.5 mg L-1 indolyl-3-butyric acid (IBA), 1.0 g L-1 charcoal with the addition of 50 g L-1 of banana puree. The obtained seedlings were successfully adapted in a substrate consisting of bark, perlite and peat in a ratio of 1:1:1.
