Technic Garden and Landscape exports varieties of tropical orchids and Orchids plants in form of tissue culture (in glass tube)   to various countries around the world. We have varieties of orchids including Aranda, Arachnis, Cattleya,  Dendrobium, Mokara, Oncidium, Phalaenopsis and Vanda.



Aranda is an intergeneric hybrid between the orchid genera Arachnis and Vanda Arach x V). This hybrid is widely grown in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.


Arachnis is grown in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. This orchid hybrid is also available in other tropical countries in South East Asia. Arachnis is also known as Arachnanthe.

Arachnis grow in warm climate with humidity, it is a lowland tropical orchid and is a climber which require sunlight. You may sometime see Arachnis species climbing the tree trunks.  They grow easily in conditions quite similar to Vanda Orchids. Arachnis cannot survive in a cool and shaded conditions.


Since Arachnis is climber it is recommended to grow them in the pots with stakes or poles (preferably a ferntee pole) to give support to the plant. Arathnis orchid grows in length and it will wrap and twisting around the pole to reach for sunlight.


Cattleya is a genus consisting about 42 species of orchids from Costa Rica to tropical South Latin America. Cattleya was named after William Cattley, by John Lindley in 1824. William Cattley was a successful Cattleya grower who cultivated specimens of Cattleya labiata that were used as packaging material specially for shipment of other orchids.


Cattleya Orchids are well known for their vibrant colors with large petal flowers Almost all the Cattleya hubrids are beautiful and the colour range is vast and exotic, the flower size are much larger from other orchid species, the bloom sizes varies from 6 cm to 16 cm sometime. In most cases Cattleya produce one or two flowers. in rare occasions it will have as many as up to 10 blooms at any one time. Each stalk of flower originated from a pseudobulb The flower has three narrow sepals, two broader side petals, and a large, tubular lip at the bottom.

Cattleyas orchids are epiphytic by nature. In the wild they attach themselves to tree trunks and rocks. Unifoliate Cattleyas usually have one leaf coming out from the pseudobulb, whereas the Bifoliate Cattleyas may have two or sometimes three leaves growing from each pseudobulb.
 
• Cattleyas grow under bright light and some direct sunlight, insufficient lights may caused the Cattleya not produce any flowers •
• Recommended day temperatures: 21-29°C (70-85°F) night temperatures of 13-15°C (55-60°F).
• Cattleyas can survive with 35-38°C (95-100°F) if there is shades with low, humidity, and good air ventilation.
• Keep Cattleya plants evenly moist especially when the plant is producing floral bud or bloom.
• Provide 50-60% humidity for Cattleyas.
• Place pots on trays of moistened pebbles. A hygrometer is a good investment when growing orchids so you can regularly monitor humidity levels in your home. This is especially important with each changing season. Fertilizer
• Cattleyas It is recommended that you repot onece every 2 years in when the pot started to crack or when the plant has overgrown.

Dendrobium Swartz is a large genus of tropical orchids consisting approximately 1200 species. The genus occurs in diverse habitats throughout the
South East Asia and Asia Pacific regions including the Australia, Borneo, New Guinea, New Zealand and the Philippines. The name Dendrobium derives from a Greek word “ dendron”  meaning tree


The species are specified as either epiphytic as well as lithophytic because they grow on a tree trunks and  sometimes grow on the a rock. They can survive in various habitats ranging from the lowland tropical forests to high altitude of the Himlayan mountains and even in the dry desert area of new territory of northern Australia.


Dendrobium hybrid orchids often develop pseudobulbs, which unite into a long reedlike stem with a typical length of more than 30 cm. Some appear densely covered with short white hairs. The short, ovate leaves grow alternately over the whole length of the stems. The axillary flower buds develop into short flower stalks with one or two terminal flowers. The orchids grow rapidly throughout hot dry season and paused temporarily during wet season. New shoots are formed from the base of the main plant. The flower stalks are found on pseudobulbs formed previously.

Dendrobium Orchids are popular among garden and orchid lovers. Dendrobium Orchids are widely used for wedding, religious, home and office interior decoration and many more.


Mokara orchids were originally created and cultivated in Singapore in 1969 by C Y Mok of Singapore. The first hybrid was called Mokara Wai Liang. This hybrid orchids naturally grow in tropical areas on trees trunks and in shrubs. The long stem of the Mokara orchid measure in average between 30 to 40 cm in length. Mokara comes in various colours including blue,yellow, purple, pink, red and orange. Each stalk has an average of between 6 to 12 flowers. The flower can last up to about three weeks.


Mokara orchids are also known as Smiling Orchids, it is a hybrid of arachnis, ascocentrum and vanda orchids. Mokara orchids survive in areas with filtered sun, warm temperatures, well-drained soil and good air circulation. Mokara will not be able to survive if they are exposed to cold weather for too long. Recommended temperatures should be kept between 45 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit, with 65 degrees being optimal. It need water constantly. During Spring, you need to apply it with a fertilizer consist of high in nitrogen after you water the plant.



Mokara is a Vandaceous orchid. It is important to take note that all Vandaceous orchids are of monopodial growth habit. They grow from the tip or crown of the plant. The inflorescences appear from the axis of the leaves.



Oncidium is a hybrid that contains approximately 330 species of orchids from the sub-family Epidendroideae of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). This is a complex, difficult genus, with many species being reclassified. Calls are made for splitting this genus into multiple genera.   


This genus was named by Olof Swartz in 1800 with the orchid Oncidium altissimum, which has become the type species. The name derived from the Greek word "onkos", meaning "swelling". This refers to the callus at the lower lip of the bloom.

Most species in the Oncidium genus are epiphytes, although some are lithophytes or terrestrials. They originated and spreadding from northern part of Mexico and the Caribbean.



Vanda - The name derived from the Sanskrit name for the species Vanda tessellata. These mostly epiphytic, but sometimes lithophytic or terrestrial orchids are distributed in India, Himalaya, South East Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea, southern China and northern Australia. Vanda Miss Joaquim is the National Flower of the Singapore Republic.

The genus has a monopodial growth habit with leaves that are highly variable according to habitat. Some have flat, typically broad, ovoid leaves (strap-leaves), while others have cylindrical (terete), fleshy leaves and are adapted to dry periods. The stems of these orchids varies in sizes; ranging from miniature to large plants of  there are miniature plants and plants with a length of several meters in height.


There are few to many flattened flowers growing on a lateral inflorescence. Most show a yellow-brown color with brown markings, Vandas also come in white, orange, pinkm purple, red and burgundy shades. The lip has a small spur. This hybrid usually bloom every few months and the flowers usually can last up to 21 days.


Vanda is one of the five most horticulturally important orchid genera, because it has some of the most magnificent flowers to be found in the entire orchid family. This has contributed much to the work of hybridists producing flowers for the cut flower industry. The colour of Vanda dearei is yellow, and is the main sources of yellow color in Vanda hybrids whereas Vanda coerulea is one of the very rare botanical orchids that produces purplish blue flowers, a property which produces interspecific and intergeneric hybrids..
