Growing Orchids in Aquatic Conditions

“These other locations for Orchids to grow is in water. Now some of the common Orchids that grows in water comes from South Africa requires extremely pure water, usually rain water falling at the high mountains, as they do at the Cape of excellent Hope and growing within the marshes along stream beds. Now we kind of give credence to that by they way we are able to grow Orchids within the greenhouse if were so inclined. And that’s to grow them hydroponically. Hydroponically, we’d take something like volcanic rock otherwise you may get clay that’s sifted into round pebbles like a marble. They’ll hold a good amount of water, but together allows the water and nutrients to head freely during the medium, and therefore you may grow aquatic plants just like those in nature, and the right example of that again is the Disa’s of the Cape of excellent Hope.”
