Type of Growing for Orchids

Type of Growing

      Monopodial; Orchids are growing always grows vertically. Bud that on apex will sprout leaves alternately, growth continues while old leaves and stem will die. Roots and leaves sprout alternately from below to upward. Bud completely healthy will sprout new plant.

      Orchids monopodial-type such as Phalaenopsis Rhynchostylis Vanda Aerides Ascocentrum Trichoglottis Renanthera ArachnisVandopsis Doritis etc.

Monopodial-type Growing
(Vanda Orchid)

      Sympodial; Orchids are growing that grow sideways across the top of the pot. These orchids have a rhizome at the base usually put in horizontal, The bud at the base will begin growing anther rhizome. and then ,The rizome develops into a small plant or pseudobulb, and flower. When pseudobulbs have completely healthy, It will lose its leaves celled this pseudobulbs that "backbulb". It served store feed more years before it die.

      Orchids sympodial-type such as Paphiopedilum Dendrobium Cattleya Oncidium Bulbophyllum Grammatophyllum etc.

Sympodial-type Growing
(Cattleya Orchid)

When diving orchids should kept backbulds in groups of 3.4 as wll.

Growing patterns

      Epiphytes ; Growing on clinging to branches of trees. Roots orchids have thick roots covered with silver or white velamen. Which adsorb moisture and nutrients from the air such as Plalaenopsis Cattleya Dendrobium etc.

      Terrestrials and semi-terrestrials; are thrive growing on/in the ground. Roots orchids frequently have hairy roots such as Paphiopedilum. Orchids don’t need a lot of fertilizer, either. As a matter of fact, most of these ground-plants can’t handle a lot of fertilizer. Terrestrial orchids share some characteristics with their greenhouse counterparts. These plants come in many shapes and size.

      Lithophytes; Orchids that grow in or on rocks. Those that grow on rocks are also known as epipetric or epilithic plants. Lithophytes feed off nutrients from rain water and nearby decaying plants, including their own dead tissue. Chasmophytes grow in fissures in rocks where soil or organic matter has accumulated.

Type of Root Orchid System

Roots orchid have 4 type following

      Terrestrial roots : The root have born of the bulbs that in the ground. succulent roots. Orchids are often found this type in natural or in the presence of seasonal changes clearly, as during the rainy season, orchids are sprouting and leaves, Appeared on the ground. When the dry season, it will shrivel up. Remain only the bulbs that storage of water and food. Orchids with terrestrial roots such as Habenaria.

      Semi-terrestrial roots : For the most part, it quite seem terrestrial roots. But the bulb probably on the ground. roots full of water and rarely have hairs. Sometimes, Though leaves fall down. Only the head remain. Whenever the humidity and the right environment. It are sprouting new leaves. Semi-terrestrial roots orchid such as slipper orchid.

      Semi-aerial roots : Usually found on the rocks or the trees. Roots can be absorbed many water. it smaller aerial roots. Most roots inside the pot. But may have some roots emerge outside the pot. This orchid roots not like a tight pots or wet for too long, Which getting air not enough. this roots orchids such as Cattleya, Cymbidium, Dendrobium and Oncidium.

Semi-aerial root, Cattleya orchid roots.

Semi-aerial roots, Cymbidium orchid roots

      Aerial roots : Most orchids grow on trees. Large Root which acts to store water to feed itself. Resistant to drought very well. If be grown in potting. Roots attaches potting for stem stable. If the orchid is completely healthy ,Root will branching away. Aerial roots such as Ascocentrum Rhynchostylis and Vanda.

Aerial roots have thick roots coverd with velamen.

Flowering in February-March

medium amounts of light.
grows in cool to warm temperatures
Keep Dendrobium thyrsiflorum moist and fertilize during growth season.

        Dendrobium is a large genus of orchids. They contains about 1,200 species. The genus occurs in various habitats such as throughout much of south, east and southeast Asia, including China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Guinea, Vietnam etc.

• In 1799, Olof Swartz establish Dendrobium genus.

• In 1981, Briegar reclassified all terete-leaved Dendrobiums from Australia and New Guinea into a new genus, Dockrillia. The Winika orchid from New Zealand was formerly D. cunninghamii, but has now been moved into a monotypic genus Winika

• In 1989, Clements upgraded the D. speciosum complex into individual species;[2] similarly, the D. bigibbum complex (which contains the well-known Cooktown Orchid of Australia, D. phalaenopsis) has recently been split up. However, as an illustration of the current revisions in the taxonomy of Orchidaceae these 'splits' have now been reversed and the currently accepted species, natural nothospecies and synonyms are presented on Wikispecies Dendrobium. 

        Dendrobium species are either epiphytic or lithophytic. They have adapted to a wide variety of habitats.

        Dendrobium is sympodial-type of orchids. They develop pseudobulbs, which in length from less than 1 centimetre to several metres long, looklike canes. Leaf bases form sheaths that completely envelope the stem.

        Ovate-leaves grow alternately over the whole length of the stems, Some species the leaves are bunched towards the apex of the stem. The axillary inflorescence in length from less to 1m long, and canes carry from a few to more 100 flowers. Deciduous species carry their leaves for one to two years then typically flower on leafless canes, while canes of evergreen species usually flower in the second year and can continue to flower for a number of years.

        These orchids grow quickly throughout summer, but take a rest during winter. Dormant buds erupt into shoots from the base of the pseudobulb mainly in spring, and a few species in autumn. This is then followed by rapid growth of new roots. Reproduction is usually through seed.

Frowine write about this orchids that "It has long, lance-shaped, light-green foliage with purple and green marked flowers with wavy edges. It;s a vigorous grower but can sometimes be a reluctant bloomer."

Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum Orchid

In 1857. William Hooker described Parkker's plant as Cypripedium hirsutissimum, the name having been coined by John Lindley.

In 1892. B. Stein transferred it to the present genus in his Orchideen-buch.
