A very important issue for the production of orchids in San Martin is to find a suitable and locally accessible substrate. This substrate must have certain characteristics such as being inert and durable over time, being very light when it is in the plant pot, easy to drain when it is connected to an irrigation system and at the same time it can be able to absorb enough water for orchid roots and give aeration to the roots, and the most important thing that it cannot get rotten very quickly. These substrate conditions of basic characteristics are necessary for maintaining orchids from acclimatization until its maintenance in a plant nursery. This research performed six treatments under controlled plant nursery conditions, the Full Random Design (FRD) with five repetitions was used and the plant material used was Phalaenopsis coming from in vitro culture. The results obtained show that the fern root control treatment (Cyathea sp.) and the coconut fiber treatment allowed better development of the leaf area and roots, these two mentioned substrates quickly lose the accumulated water allowing this way the aeration which is exactly what the roots need. Offering in this way favorable conditions for the seedling in its acclimatization stage and not allowing drowning water stress.
