Orchids are one of the most appreciated decorative flowers because of the beauty of their flowers and especially because of their bright colours. They have bright and exotic colours and give class and personality to the environments in which they are found. It is a tropical and perennial plant, destined to bloom and re-bloom, but it needs appropriate treatments.
At the same time, they are a very delicate plant that requires specific care to stay healthy.

It may seem obvious, but first of all it is essential to identify the species of orchid you have. There are many orchid genera, phalaenopsis, oncidium, cambria, dendrobium, vanda, etc., the first being the most common and widespread. Determining which type your orchid is will help you to know its characteristics and the specific care it requires, which can vary quite a bit depending on the genus. Normally you will be able to tell the genus of your orchid from the small identification label that accompanies this type of flower.
