Although many people say that orchids are difficult to care for, some varieties are easy to grow.
In the natural habitat of orchids in the tropics, they attach to the bark or other plant surfaces and absorb moisture and nutrients through their white roots.
as well as they grow on trees, they are accustomed to good air circulation and light.

HOW TO GROW ORCHID...

Orchids are divided into two groups. * Monocotyledonous orchids have a straight stem and opposite stems along the stem. The flowers bloom high and are visible from the base of the leaves.

Speaking of humidity and temperature, the Olide, Phalaenopsis, and Papiopedilum, which prefer the humid tropics, prefer daytime temperatures of 75 to 85 F.

Symbidium and Dendrobium orchids are accustomed to moderate temperatures of 50 to 75 F, requiring moisture and good air circulation.

In terms of light, the orchid is usually a light-loving plant. For best results, get 12 to 14 hours of light a day and apply artificial light to keep them healthy in the winter.

Talking of growing mediums, orchids like Papiopodilum and some Symbidium prefer to grow in soil and most tropical orchids prefer to grow in air rather than in soil. Furthermore, their roots act as a sponge to absorb water.

A key factor when cultivating an orchid is that the medium in which the orchid grows should have good air circulation and allow the water to drain very quickly.
Also provide something safe to stick to the roots. For example, depending on the type of orchid, mosses, tree bark, dried fern roots, rocks, coconut fibers, lava rocks can be used. Mix coconut husks with charcoal, for example.
