    Vanilla orchid care. Help!

    If it has a root already it's not necessary to put it in a plastic bag. But it will need a pole or something to climb. They're a very tall growing...

    Spathoglottis plicata

    Mine are okay if they stay in pots, but they don't like it in the ground. I really like them and have got a few different colours.

    Angraecum sesquipedale
