The difference between wild orchids and cultivated orchids

Wildorchidsare orchids that grow naturally in the mountains without artificialcultivationor management.Wildorchidscome in a great many species with high variability. They have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, are easy tocultivate, and have strong growth vigor and a strong resistance topests and diseases, so superior orchid varieties can be selected from them. However, after wild orchids are dug out of the mountains, they often go through transport, compression and overly long storage, so their roots and leaves are easily damaged, and they need many years of care before they can bloom.

Cultivated orchids are what are commonly called variety orchids. The traits of orchids of the same variety are relatively stable and do not change much, such as flowering period, flower shape, number of flowers, posture, color and fragrance. Because cultivated orchids have been grown artificially for a long time, their adaptability to the environment is poorer than that of wild orchids.
