When Dave visited Singapore last year, he found lots of green spaces filled with lush, tropical beauty<\/a>. The nature park at Gardens by the Bay<\/a> was one extraordinary example, with plants on the ground, and also up in the air on Supertrees<\/a>. As epiphytes, or air plants<\/a>, orchids are well-suited for living up high. Many hang in these vertical gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Orchids<\/a>\"Large<\/a>\"Orchids<\/a><\/p>\n

Located within Gardens by the Bay, the Supertrees are human-made tree replicas, and they exemplify how dazzling orchids can be in vertical gardens. Of course, it helps to have a tropical climate like Singapore, with warm temps<\/a>, plentiful rainfall<\/a>, and strong light<\/a>. These trees are full of sun-lovers like Vanda<\/a>, Cattleya<\/a>, Grammatophyllum<\/a>, and Renanthera orchids. But even temperate climates can have vertical gardens which include intermediate growers<\/a> or cool growers<\/a>. In more shaded conditions, Moth Orchids<\/a> and Lady Slippers<\/a> can thrive on vertical displays. Their exotic blooms delight, and contribute a rainbow of colors to green walls. As the vertical garden trend continues to grow, expect to see more orchids hanging around, like they do in Singapore.<\/p>\n
