It sounds as if you live someplace that orchids grow naturally. I understand
from the orchid nursery I buy from that in some places removing orchids from the
wild is illegal. When I was growing up it was illegal to remove the
Paphiopedlium orchid, Lady SLippers. So, first check that out. Second, the
soil, and how to plant it should be the same as where you find it. If it is on
the ground in moss then you probably want moss as a medium. If it is in a tree
then probably bark, charcoal, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth chips. THe best
thing to do is find your local "Orchid Society" group and ask them. You can
also check the culture info at the site below.
