Some orchids are terrestrial, meaning they grow in the ground, but the majority of them are epiphytes, growing in the debris that collects in the crotch of branches. The root system is to secure the planting of trees, they grow, as for the collection of nutrients. The moisture from rain and moisture collected in the air. Most orchids like to lie close in their pots. Your work need not be most likely to be transplanted, unless it is tilting. Some orchids are planted in a mixture of wood chips and charcoal. This medium will break over time, and must be updated every few years. This will not happen with the volcanic rocks. You can find specific fertilizer for orchids in many places, I get my at Home Depot. This will encourage them to late flowering. Most bloom once a year, some more often. I've never seen a vanilla orchid, to see how awesome if you have one! Vaniila orchids grow vines as high as the tree they are in. My understanding is that vanilla farmers to encourage crop top of the plant both on the growth of more flowers, and also to reap the fruits will be easier. Orchids love humidity, but they may not stand in water. If you give out a few pebbles in a shallow bowl, a little water, and set the pot on it, create a nice little micro-climate for your system.
