Selecting
Easy Orchids to Grow at Home
To
select Orchids that are easy to grow, it is important to
understand more about Orchids as well as your care environment
at home. It wouldn't make sense to grow an Orchid at home
that grew in tree debris near tree roots in deep shade,
in a bright window at home.
Meanwhile,
as an opposite example, it
doesn't make sense to take an Orchid plant that originally
grew high in the rainforest canopy with high humidity
and a lot of sunlight and expect that plant
to do well at home in care conditions with very little light
and low humidity.
The
photo on the left shows how some Orchids in nature that
are easy to grow at home, and are here shown growing on
a large piece of Orchid bark simulating what it would be
like to be growing this Orchid in a rainforest.
