How can I duplicate or "Clone" my favorite orchid plant?

If you have a Cattleya plant, or if you have orchids either grow in what is called the simpodial manor where they branch of at the base or they grow in the sinpodial manor which means they more or less grow straight up from the base with no side branches.

They may be duplicated by dividing them when they are large enough plants.

The example of the simpodial orchid is the Cattleya, another one is the Cymbidium, those are just 2 of them.

Other wise if you want a monopodial orchid such as a Phalaenopsis to be duplicated, you must find someone who can clone it for you. It must be done in a laboratory.
