A common question for people who are new to growing orchid plants, or are thinking of starting a new orchid garden, is, “Do plants grow naturally without needing a gardener?” The short answer to this is “No.” There is no such thing as “plant life” that can survive on its own. All plants need basic nutrients, a living source of water, and certain insects or animals to help them grow and thrive.

But are orchids really parasite-free? They most likely are not, but they are not plant-like either. They do share some of the characteristics of a plant, such as having root systems that are below the surface. The orchid’s root system is probably why it can grow so well in the wild, even in places where it is not native. It shares the characteristics of a succulent plant, which means it needs moisture and warmth to grow well.

But what is an orchid without those traits? Well, an orchid is actually a class of plants called monopodial plants. These have a single stem with only one or two leaves. They are very common and are used for decoration. In fact, you can use several orchids on the same plant to grow a fully-grown forest.

There are several types of orchids that are parasite free, but they are not all the same. Diploptera and plagiocephaly are two of them. Diploptera or the ‘diver’ orchid has a single stem with two or three leaves. It shares the characteristic trait of having only one or two leafs, which make it an attractive plant to grow, but it does not grow in the wild. Piscocarpon or the ‘flying orchid’ has a single stem with four or five leaves, but this orchid is parasitic. It attaches itself to another plant in the wild and then releases itself when that other plant is cut down.

All orchids are actually part of a group of thirty-two species that are classified in the Family Phomopsis. They are not true tropical orchids, as we usually think of them, but they do grow well in the southern parts of the United States and in Mexico. Most orchids that grow outdoors are part of the Paphiopedilum orchid family. The reason orchids are parasitic, is that when they grow in the wild, they feed off of other plants. When they are growing indoors, they tend to steal food from inside their containers, like flowers, leaves and roots.

One thing about orchids that makes them look like parasites is that they don’t grow by themselves. They need a source of nutrients, just like any other plant, in order to grow and reproduce. That is why you see them attaching themselves to another plant in the wild, because they need something to “substrate” their growing orchid roots with, like soil. When orchids are grown indoors, they do not have this extra nutrition because their pots are full of water or air. So, when orchids are asked the question, are orchids a parasite, they will tell you, no, they are not.

There are several different kinds of parasitic orchids, but they all start with the stem of an orchid growing off of another plant. This person orchid may be an animal, human or a plant, and it can be male or female. If the person or the plant is dead however, the orchid grows back naturally without attaching itself to another living orchid. However, these are not the simplest or most elegant of orchids, and they are often mistaken for a weed. Because of their unusual appearance and their tendency to hang from objects, orchids are often mistaken as aphids.

The truth is that orchids are not a parasite; in fact, they are plants that have a symbiotic relationship with another plant. Aphids are a type of plant parasite that live on other plants. They cause damage to the orchid plant, which then makes it unable to reproduce by putting up a resistance process against the aphid’s digestive juices. This causes the orchid to die, and the aphid moves on. Parasitic orchids are a very common sight on many orchids, but there are a few species that are not susceptible to eating another plant, which makes them safer to remove from the orchid plant or put in a tank with other orchids.
