Vanda is one of the many different orchid genera that exist in the world. It is a pure epiphyte (growing upwards) and originally comes from the subtropical and tropical regions of South East Asia. Vanda grows monopodially (one leaf on the right and one on the left, from the same heart) and probably produces the widest range of flower colours imaginable. There is probably almost no colour or pattern that does not exist. Over the years, orchid growers have repeatedly bred new and impressive varieties. There are varieties with flowers almost 10-12 cm in size as well as small, miniature varieties.

Vanda is cultivated either hanging on a wire hanger or in a glass vase. The advantage of growing in a vase is that the plant can be watered more easily, as a Nanda should be watered about 2-3 times a week. However, it is important to ensure that only the roots are watered and not the leaves.

The lady's slipper orchid has the botanical name Paphiopedilum and is probably one of the longest-known and most versatile orchid genera in existence. In the mid-18th century, lady's slippers were among the first orchids to be introduced to Europe from tropical regions of Asia.

Paphiopedilum prefers consistently warm, semi-shady to shady locations and even watering. Paphiopedilum comprises many hundreds of species and several thousand varieties (crosses). Almost nothing is impossible. There are tiny miniature orchids, but also lady's slippers with flowers almost 12-15 cm in size. Variegated species and varieties alternate with varieties with green to grey-blue leaves.

The correct name for the monkey orchid genus is Dracula. The orchid genus Dracula prefers a cool climate. It comes from the higher regions of Central America. Initially, the individual species belonged to the genus Masdevallia, until they were reclassified as an independent genus. The flowers of the Dracula orchids look like monkey faces. This is why they are also known as monkey orchids.

Dracula like it to be evenly moist and not too warm. Cultivation is therefore not easy, especially in summer, and the flowers are not very durable. However, these monkey orchids are extremely popular with collectors and orchid lovers.

One of the most popular flower colours in the realm of orchids is white. White Phalaenopsis, for example, decoratively match almost anything in the home and look very elegant in a group of 3-5 plants in a row. However, white orchids are not only found in horticulturally cultivated orchid species, but also in nature as pure species. We then call them alba after the species name. For example Paphiopedilum venustum alba or Phalaenopsis equestris alba and many others. In our shop, we have summarised these very popular orchids in a separate category where you can browse for these special beauties of nature at your leisure.

Black orchids such as some Catasetum hybrids or Cymbidium are very popular. You can't buy them everywhere and they are not always easy to propagate and cultivate. We offer some of these varieties in our shop, such as Paphiopedilum Maudie Vinicolor "Black Madonna", Fredclarkeara After Dark "Black Pearl" or Cymbidium Kiwi Midnight "Geyserland".
