Parts of an Orchid 

Brought to you by Turtle Pond Orchids

Orchids have 6 main parts.

• Three sepals
• Two petals
• One labellum (meaning tongue)

An additional section of an orchid is the column . Pollen is located at this point . The ovary behind the blossom can swell up after pollination , along with the seed builds upinside it . 


Orchids possess a component known as a bract , that is a leaf . In classification of certain orchids , the variety of bracts may help in orchid identity .

  Orchid Feeding Tips - 
  In the event that you're growing your own orchid on bark , make use of a fertilizer that's considerably much higher in nitrogen ( in a ratio of 30( N )-10( P )-10( K ) ) . Theharmful bacteria in the decomposing bark will certainly use up plenty of nitrogen . 
  Water the orchid completely before giving food . 
  
  Climatic conditions . 65-85ºF ( 18-30ºC ) is advisable .
