Aerides Orchid Genus

Subtribe : Aeridinae
Meaning : Referring to their epiphytic growth habit

Aerides are found in most of Asia, and are very similar to Vanda in growth habit and appearance. They are monopodial, and range from small to large plants. Temperature requirements vary from cool to warm growing depending on the species. They have strap shaped leaves and are best grown in teak baskets or net pots to afford the roots freedom to extend into the air. The type species, Aerides odoratum was described by Lour in 1790.
