Wild orchids can be found everywhere in the countryside; these are the easiest places to find rare varieties

Some people say that wild orchids grow all over the fields back in their hometowns, and when they went home for Chinese New Year they even dug up a lot of them to pot at home. The editor has specially gathered some of their tips for finding wild orchids; these are said to be the easiest places to find rare varieties.

First, go by the orchid's main characteristics: it likes shade and fears direct sun, likes moisture and fears dryness, and likes fertile humus soil. Once you have grasped these traits, focus your search directly on the following locations.

Choose areas on the mid-slope valley walls of deep mountains and secluded valleys, and avoid sun-facing slopes. Wild orchids are extremely precious; every one you dig up is one less in the world.

Orchids are perennial herbaceous plants with several to many leaves. Chinese people have always regarded orchids as a symbol of purity and elegance, and growing orchids indoors is seen as a refined pursuit.
