Orchids, symbol of fecundity, are tropical plants with a good resistance and quite easy to grow if you have green fingers because the concern is often to succeed in making your orchid bloom again... Orchids are the richest and most varied family in the plant world with more than 25,000 species! The commercial varieties are hybrids and the most common is the Phalaenopsis: its flat, thick leaves are reminiscent of those of succulents; the butterfly-shaped flowers appear on erect floral stems. Some varieties of orchids are very long-lived. When they are not epiphytes (clinging to trees or rocks), terrestrial orchids have aerial roots that help photosynthesis. Their color can, therefore, turn green. They are herbaceous plants with very diverse types. Orchids will grow easily in Mauritius that is in nurseries and in house gardens.
