To enhance the flower quantity and flowering quality of Phalaenopsis, this study investigated the regulatory effects of spraying 6-BA or multi-stem inducer before and after flower stalk emergence on the flowering traits and lateral branch development of different cultivars. The experiment employed one large-flowered cultivar and six small-flowered cultivars. Treatments included spraying 400 mg/L 6-BA or multi-stem inducer (200×dilution) before stalk emergence and 200 mg/L 6-BA after stalk emergence. Flowering indices such as stalk emergence time, double-stalk rate, multiple-stalk rate, stalk length, flower number, number of lateral branches on the stalk, and bud abortion count were measured. Spraying 6-BA or the multi-stem inducer before stalk emergence significantly promoted stalk emergence in small-flowered cultivars, increasing the double-stalk and multiple-stalk rates (e.g., the multiple-stalk rate of 'Jinbian linglong' reached 100%). However, it reduced the number of lateral branches on the stalk in some cultivars. The large-flowered cultivar 'Daliajiao' was insensitive to multi-stalk induction, with a double-stalk rate of only 3.3%, but its stalk emergence time was advanced by 20 days compared to the control after pre-emergence 6-BA treatment. Although spraying 6-BA after stalk emergence delayed flowering, it significantly increased the inflorescence length, flower number, number of lateral branches on the stalk, and the length of the longest lateral branch in small-flowered cultivars. It also induced varying degrees of bud abortion, with 'Jinbian kafei' being the most severely affected, showing a bud abortion rate as high as 59.2%. In conclusion, the effects of 6-BA on Phalaenopsis flowering exhibit significant cultivar differences and are dependent on the application timing. Treatment before stalk emergence is conducive to inducing multiple stalks in small-flowered cultivars and improving emergence uniformity, with the multi-stem inducer showing similar effects to 6-BA. Treatment after stalk emergence can optimize the inflorescence structure of small-flowered cultivars but requires attention to the risk of bud abortion. In production, the appropriate treatment timing should be selected based on cultivar characteristics and cultivation objectives.
