Taiwan's moth orchid exporters utilize a "relay cultivation" model, which means that large seedlings are shipped to greenhouses abroad where other growers continue to cultivate the flowers and eventually induce flowering. However, because the model lacks a follow-up mechanism, Taiwan's growers don't know how well the seedlings grow and flower abroad.
由於台灣蝴蝶蘭外銷採「接力栽培」模式，大苗運送到銷售地後，進當地溫室繼續栽培催花，但長期以來因缺乏追蹤機制，業者根本不知道蘭苗到了異地他鄉是否長得好？
