Discover Your Orchid Species
Orchids are one of the largest and most diverse plant families, with over 25,000 known species and more than 100,000 hybrids. Our AI orchid identifier helps you determine which species or genus you have, whether it is a common Phalaenopsis from a grocery store or a rare Cattleya from a specialty nursery.
Orchid Care Varies Dramatically by Species
A Phalaenopsis orchid thrives in indirect light with weekly watering, while a Vanda orchid needs bright light and daily watering. Getting the care wrong is the most common reason orchids decline. Identifying your specific orchid is the essential first step to providing conditions that promote healthy growth and reblooming.
Photograph the Bloom for Best Identification
Orchid flowers are the most distinctive feature for species identification. Photograph the bloom from the front, showing the lip and column clearly. If your orchid is not currently blooming, photograph the leaves and growth pattern. The AI can still identify many orchid types from vegetative features alone, though flower photos provide the highest accuracy.
