Depending upon which type of orchid, tree or ground, they are both easy to propagate. A tree orchid will send out an aerial root, cut the stem just below the root and plant in a container. For a terrestrial orchid, obtain the pseudobulb and place in a suitable soil container.

Every cell in an organism contains the same DNA because all the cells once originated from the original cell (the egg in humans). When you cut and regrow a part of a plant you are removing some of the genetic material and then continuing its growth separate from the source. By this reasoning you have created a living copy of the genetic material of the plant which is in essence a clone.
