''Most orchids are epiphytic, they grow stuck to the outside of a tree ''
that is how the wife grows them
they are tied to trees in the yard with cotton twine
twine will rot away but the orchids attach on their own over time
it helps we are in miami where it never gets too cold or above the 90's
there must be near a 100 scattered about [we have lots of trees]
there are lots of different kinds with varying water sun food requirements
most seem to do well with minimum water sun and food so doNOT over do any of that
inside orchids require much more care as most inside homes tend to be dry
unlike our high humid outside environment
