What to know about the plant tariff

Tolumnia 'Peppered Sunlight'

 

                    The plants imported from Thailand must pay the Trump Tariff Tax of 10%.

                    If I buy plants valued at $6,500, I must pay $650.00 at the port of entry for the Trump Tariff Tax

                    Where do I recover that $650.00?

                    The only place I get money is from the sale of plants.

We need to know the answer

Tolumnia - one fan - two spikes - high bud count

         No one knows how to get two flower spikes on one fan with Tolumnia Orchids.

         Flowering is the only thing that matters with houseplants.  The more flowers the better.  For commercial production, the most flowers for the least cost is ideal.

        I've found 10 Tolumnia that have two spikes on one fan out of a population of 10,000.  That is one tenth of one percent.  You could say that it is rare.

        What causes double spikes to occur?  It is genetic or culture?  These double spike plants are seedlings, meaning that all characteristics segregate undependably. If I find one, should it be cloned, so we get superior plants?

        Or is it culture meaning it is capable of double spikes but only if it grows with good culture?

        If you know, tell me.  Thanks
