🌸 What orchids can be grown in the ground?

Orchids have a mystique that seems to set them apart from most other flowers... they are elegant and almost unreal in their perfection... But not every gardener has luck growing traditional orchids.
  • ⚜️ Terrestrial orchids (a.k.a. ground orchids) grow in regular garden soil instead of in the air on tree branches!
  • ⚜️ Ground orchids come in many colors and shapes.
  • ⚜️ Ground orchids will be happy to bloom in sun or shade and are very easy to grow!
