The varieties of orchids are normally pink, white or purple, but there are also others that are worth growing and combining with others, such as the black itself that I spoke about at the beginning.
Their forms are also very varied, and that of black color It is actually a garnet so dark that it ends up turning black or looking a lot like it, that is why it is called that although it really is not in some cases. It has its origin in Asia and northern Australia, and its flowers are very large and showy, making them perfect for decoration even though the color does not invite it.

Main cares
- Location: the best thing is that you choose a very illuminated place since it needs a lot of light to be able to develop in all its fullness. The sun's rays do not affect you negatively, so you can receive them at any time of the year without any problem.
- Temperature: it can have a hard time when it is over 30ºC, so in that case it is better to move it to a cooler place.
- Humidity: it is enough that it is at 50%, as long as it is not too hot. If you do, you spray the leaves so they always stay moist.
- Irrigation: It has to be abundant during spring and summer, preventing the soil from drying out completely but without waterlogging.
- Flowering: this stage runs from September to January and occurs only once a year. If the conditions and care are appropriate, orchids can last between 3 and 7 years.
