The Kuala Lumpur Orchid Garden has two main varieties of orchids namely Terrestrial Orchids and Epiphytic Orchids. It is interesting to note that the Epiphytic Orchids feed on dead plant matter. Further, they absorb the moisture from the host’s crannies and nooks. This variety of orchids is mostly found in Malaysia since the country experiences tropical climatic conditions.
