Because, to reach the sunlight, orchids get a boost from the forest trees. Orchids will attach themselves and grow on the trunks of the trees. In this way, the orchids move up off the dark forest floor and closer to the sunny canopy
Plants such as ferns, mosses, epiphytes (orchids, bromeliads etc.), vines and climbers as well as a range of parasitic plants
Fungi help orchids (and other plants) by providing water and nutrients. In orchids, specifically, the fungi associate with the seedlings. Fungal hyphae are much better than roots at discovering and absorbing nutrients and water in the soil (or whatever medium the plant is in). The water and nutrients are taken up by the fungus and transported to the orchid. If the relationship is mutualistic, then the fungus gets sugars in exchange. If it is not, then the fungus gets nothing.
Orchids can live in Hawaii. They even have their own orchid flower shop.
Orchids have specialized roots called aerial roots. These roots help orchids absorb moisture and nutrients from the air, rather than from the soil. Aerial roots also assist orchids in clinging to trees or other surfaces in their natural habitats.

Commensalism
The symbiotic relationship between bees and orchids is mutualism because the bees collect nectar to make honey and the orchids get to be spread around and reproduce in different places
The relationship between orchids and trees, known as epiphytism, offers advantages such as increased access to sunlight and reduced competition for ground resources, allowing orchids to thrive in diverse environments. However, disadvantages include vulnerability to environmental changes and potential reliance on the host tree for moisture and nutrients. If the host tree suffers from disease or stress, the orchid may also be adversely affected. Additionally, this relationship can become parasitic if the orchid significantly harms the tree's health.

The mood in "Orchids" by Hazel Simmons-McDonald is contemplative and reflective. The poem explores themes of nature, beauty, and the passage of time, creating a sense of tranquility and appreciation for the delicate beauty of orchids.
Can I gift orchids from Zynah Orchids to someone special in India?
Terrestrial orchids are orchids that live in the soil of the ground and not in trees
Yes, some orchids are known as epiphytes and grow on other plants, such as trees, but they are not parasitic. Instead, they use the host plant for support while obtaining nutrients from the air, rainwater, and accumulated organic matter around them.
That sentence does not make sense do you mean where are apple orchids or what are apple orchids?
Bromeliads
Orchids grow in many different regions...The vast majority of orchids are tropical many grow in rainforests.... But there are also non tropical orchids Britain has many natice orchids which are not considered tropical and orchids even grow above the arctic cirlce in pategonia and on mariquarie island which is close to antaractica
