Orchid

Brief Description

Orchids are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, known for their complex flowers and varied shapes and colors. They are often epiphytic and grow on trees, although some species are terrestrial.

Care Instructions

Orchids generally require bright, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining potting media. Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the potting medium to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize with a balanced orchid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Medicinal Value

Some orchids have been used in traditional medicine for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties, though the medicinal use varies significantly among species.
