Orchids

 
The plant family of the orchids contains 25,000, 30,000 Species. It is therefore the most extensive plant family of the earth.
More than 3/4 happen in the rain forest zones of the equator.
Exactly as in the case of the Bromeliads one finds them in different altitudes. You prefer temperatures between 24 -36 centigrades.
Orchids need an atmospheric humidity of 70-90 %.
In the viv they should be grown so this they after a downpour have the possibility of drying. You therefore should a place in the upper part too good come. Epiphytic must be regarded as the Species introduced here.
