In order to attain the hybridization between a Cymbidium species and the others, 10 different Varieties including Cymbidium(Cym.) goeringii, cym. ensifolium, cym. kanran, cym. faberi, other mutant species as Cym. hosay var. hakuran, cym. sinense f. albo-jucundisimum, cym. sinense 'Sanchonbose', and Western hybrids such as Cym. 'Anmitsu Hime' and Cym. 'Crystal Cherry Angel', were subjected to pollinate. The seeds were obtained and germinated to assess days required for germination, germination speed and other germination features for their growth to compare a species to the corresponding hybrid variety. The seed germination of interspecific hybrids took less days than their respective species.
This characteristic nature of hybrid vigor was also noted in the seed germination rate and speed, as well as the young leaf growth. Western orchids, which are already hybrids as Cym. 'Anmitsu Hime' and Cym. 'Crystal Cherry Angel', and more vigorous growth than the corresponding species selfed.
