Your Simple Guide To Cymbidium Orchids And Other Orchid Varieties
With thousands of species of orchids, from green cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids
and epidendrum orchids available, you'll find that there are really just two main types. Below we'll talk in more detail about these two varieties with examples about the differences and choosing between the two.
The first type are orchids belonging to the epiphytes specie. These can be found growing from the tops of trees, poles and rocks. The second type are known as terrestrial orchids, found on the ground and forest floors.
Lets have a look more into these orchids, first being the Epiphytes.
The term 'epiphytes' is a term relating to any plant whose root system lies above ground.
The Dendrobiums Orchid
As well known epiphytes, dendrobiums aren't hard to grow, but they do tend to require more attention than cymbidium orchids. They don't flower as often as other orchid types, which is one reason why they're less popular with growers. WIth thousands of species around the world, dendrobiums can be found in tropical areas of South East Asia, Australia, Northern India and Polynesia.
The Phalaenopsis Orchid
This orchid sees a lot of attention for important events such as weddings and ceremony's, selected for it's vibrant colors of pinks, yellows and stripes. These orchids are easy to care for and reward growers with beautiful seasonal blooms.
The Epiphytic Orchid
This is an interesting specie of orchid. These plants don't feed from the tree they grow from, but instead they position themselves stretching their roots out across the branches of trees. The roots build an organic matter that helps with obtaining nourishment for the plant. The unique epiphytic orchid has the ability to grow and thrive while clinging to rocks and trees, even with filtered sunlight.
This unique root system offers the plant an advantage which is, even in wet and dry seasons, the ability to sustain itself during the year. Closer inspection of the roots you'll notice a tough, string like core, covered by an off white sponge which absorbs water. This allows the retaining of moisture, which is vital to the plants lifespan.
Terrestrial Orchids
Like most plants these orchids have their roots growing beneath the soil. Some types are considered semi-terrestrial with roots both above and below ground. This specie of orchid are a common favorite among gardeners and are a popular choice for those starting out.
Cymbidium Orchids
These orchids belong to the terrestrial group of orchids. There are around forty different types with thousands of hybrids and were some of the first species to be cultivated domestically. These types have been successfully grown on tree's and rocks, not just growing on the ground, making them quite a versatile plant of choice.
Cymbidium orchids offer simple and easy approach for beginners when getting started. With correct maintenance and care, these orchids can bloom in season for years. This specie of orchid plant has natural habitats across Southeast Asia, Australia and Japan.
It's a wonderful world for you to discover with the many varieties of orchids, there's one for every level of orchid enthusiast.

Plants called epiphytes, including many orchid species, live in the very humid tropics and grow on tree trunk?
. Plants called epiphytes, including many orchid species, live in the very humid tropics and grow on tree trunks.
Epiphytes have no contact with the soil but can absorb water from the air. How is this possible?
The roots are encased in a spongy material that lets them hold water. When the roots are dry, they look white except for the tips, but when wet, they look green. You can see one dry root out the back of the pot, but the others look like this plant was recently watered: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamie_krass/2207846144/
The roots may be able to absorb some moisture from the air (the humidity in the rainforest would be relatively high), but they don't get water from the air as much as they do from water running down the tree when it rains, or from wet debris that's accumulated in cracks in the bark or in notches where branches meet the trunk. They also get some of their nutrients from the debris, as well as dropping from birds and animals that fall on the plants.
