About Orchid Variety Identifier

Orchids from grocery stores and garden centers often arrive with a tag that says only 'Orchid', and once it is lost, the name is gone for good. Our orchid identifier names the orchid in your photo at the genus or species level, so you know whether you have a Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Cattleya, Paphiopedilum or Cymbidium. That alone tells you most of what you need about light, watering and how to make it rebloom.

How It Works

Photograph one flower straight on, then a close-up of the lip (the central, often differently shaped petal), and finally the whole plant including the base so pseudobulbs, canes or a flat leaf fan are visible. You get the scientific name, which you can open on Wikipedia. Specific hybrid names are rarely recoverable from a photo, because many hybrids share parents.

Key Benefits

  • Tells you which growth type you have: monopodial Phalaenopsis and Vanda versus pseudobulb-forming Cattleya, Oncidium and Dendrobium
  • Explains differing rest needs, such as the cool, drier winter many Dendrobiums need to flower
  • Recognizes slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum), which have a pouch-shaped lip and no pseudobulbs
  • Helps you buy the right potting medium, from bark for epiphytes to finer mixes for terrestrial types
  • Free for one identification per day, no registration

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about orchid variety identifier

Upload a front view of a flower and a photo of the whole plant. The tool returns the orchid's scientific name, usually at the genus or species level, which is what determines its care.

Usually not. Orchid hybrids number in the hundreds of thousands and many look alike; the registered name is only reliably known from the original tag.

Phalaenopsis has a short stem with a few broad, flat leaves, while Dendrobium grows tall, jointed cane-like stems. Some Dendrobium flowers look similar, so check the plant body.

The lip, or labellum, is a modified petal that differs most between genera and species in shape, color and markings. A sharp close-up of it greatly improves identification.

Common Phalaenopsis orchids are listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA. Look up your identified genus, and keep pets away from fertilizers and pesticides used on the plant.
