Orchids are a type of plant that hitch a ride on other growing media to be able to live or be reproduced. Orchids have various types, one of the differences lies in the growing medium. The orchids that I feature in this post are grouped into Epiphytic orchids.

These orchids grow and ride on other trees without harming their host plants, and require sunlight. Which is enough, so it has chlorophyll like other plants. Orchid roots absorb food from rainwater, fog and the surrounding air.

Cultivating orchids can be done easily, only requires a pot as a planting medium, then a few pieces of charcoal, orchid seeds can be sown directly in the pot that has been provided.

Do regular watering because water is an important element in the growth process when it is being cultured.
