Hello! Recently, I have been looking for an orchid to grow from the seed. Originally, I was going to play it safe with a moth orchid… but I came across a monkey orchid. These orchids are real, but I wasn’t sure if it was realistic for them to actually look like monkeys every single time. They are the cutest little things ever and I wanted to gift them to my friends to creep them out, so I wanted to learn a bit more about them before I get the seeds.

I don’t know anything about them but am following this post as I love the look of them and am curious about them as well.

If you fertilize it with bananas they grow faster

What do you mean fertilize with banana? Please explain. Thanks

It’s a joke. Monkeys- bananas.
