The micropropagation of Paphiopedilum delenatii via gibberellic acid (GA3) treatment is reported. The juvenile axillary shoots of P. delenatii were isolated and cultured on Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) medium supplemented with 5 concentrations of GA3 (1.0-5.0 mg l-1) for shoot elongation. Nodal explants were isolated from elongated shoots and placed on medium supplemented with N6-benzyladenine (BA), Kinetin (KIN), or Thidiazuron (TDZ) for shoot multiplication. The highest number of axillary shoots was recorded in SH medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l-1 TDZ after 60 days of culture. Vigorous and uniform plantlets with well-develop shoots and roots were planted in the greenhouse. The 3-year-old P. delenatii plants were treated with GA3 (50-500 mg l-1) for 4 consecutive months to stimulate inflorescence emergence. Moreover, GA3 also contributed positively to the early blooming of P. delenatii plants.

Key words: early flowering, gibberellic acid, in vitro, Paphiopedilum delenatii, shoot elongation
