Pink white dendrobium orchid



  • Common Name: Orchid

  • Family: Orchidaceae

  • Types:•Epiphytic Orchids are grown perched high in the trees clinging to branches or in the trunk apex of the tree. They derive their nutrients from the air, rain, and any decaying vegetation, which the roots can contact. Epiphytic Orchids have specialised aerial roots, which have a white spongy layer of cells called velamen. This protects the inner root tissues and absorbs water. These roots will also often dangle free in the atmosphere.
    •Lithophytic Orchids are seen covering the bases and forks of trees or filling crevices in rocks, and absorb a maximum supply of nutrients from decaying mosses.
    •Terrestrial Orchids are seen under the ground, having a symbiotic relation with a special fungus, which in turn supports the orchid with the essential nutrients.

  • Water: Do not over-water

  • Scientific Name : Syngonium

  • Family : Araceae

    including arrowhead plants, five-fingers, Nephytis (after the Greek mythological figure Nephthys) and goosefoot.
    Some of the common names refer to the shape of the leaves at different stages of development.
    Grown as houseplants since at least 1881, they are closely related to the philodendron.
    Though the ancestors of these lovely plants from tropical Mexico and central America were mostly plain green,
    there are new varieties with subtle shades of bronze and pink seeming to blush onto the leaf-blade from the region of the stem.
    Syngoniums look great grown alone or can add character to a mixed planting. They even make a good substitute for caladiums in the summer garden.
    Arrowhead plants will spill out of a hanging basket when they are young or climb a pole as they mature.
    When they mature the arrowhead shape of the leaves changes and lobes develop at the base of the leaves.
    The older the plant is, the more lobes the full-sized leaves will have. Because the sap from syngonium is an irritant,
    it will appear on lists of poisonous plants. Flowers are on upright calyxes covered by a green leaf-like spathe
