Since transporting cut flowers to the US market via air freight is prohibitively expensive, growers have instead been hoping to implement the moth orchid model-winning the right to ship seedlings in growth media to the US. Medium is necessary because Oncidium don't recover as well as moth orchids from having their roots exposed, and therefore can't travel far.
至於美國市場，若走切花空運的型式外銷，完全不敷成本，因此未來希望能循蝴蝶蘭模式，爭取到以蘭苗帶介質輸美，否則文心蘭裸根的恢復力道不如蝴蝶蘭，根本不可能「旅行」太遠。
