What Is the Best Way to Grow Orchids?

Orchids are known for their vibrant, exotic colors and diverse variety, with over 30,000 species and 200,000 hybrids. Once only available to the rich, orchids can now be cultivated almost anywhere and have become popular houseplants. Most orchids found in nature are epiphytes, which are plants that grow anchored to other plants. Although they can be found anywhere except Antarctica, the vast majority are native to the tropics, where they thrive in a wet, humid environment. Below is an overview of several categories of orchids. 


  • Epiphytes: Approximately 70% of orchids are epiphytes, and are largely confined to the tropics or subtropics. They are not parasitic, as they do not derive nutrients from the host plant.
  • Terrestrial orchids: As the name suggests, terrestrial orchids grow in the soil. Some have roots, but most grow from pseudobulbs. 
  • Phalaenopsis hybrids: Also called moth orchids, these orchids are suited to beginners due to their showy blooms and ease of maintenance. 
  • Dendrobium hybrids: This variety of orchids is one of the largest of all orchid groups, comprising nearly 2000 species. In nature, they are primarily epiphytes. Native to southeast Asia, they are found in a wide range of climates – from hot wetlands to high-altitude cold mountains. Some species are found in the deserts of Australia.
