What did I find?

Hello,

I found these outside my new place and they seem to have been dumped by the previous tenants. I would love some info on what they might be and how to best care for them.

Thank you for your time

Hi those appear to be some sort of species or tribe vandacious orchids. Which have similar c
Culture or care for them at AOS there are care sheets or search our forum or the web for Vanda care or Vanda culture. I can't post links from my phone but maybe another member can attach some links for Vanda for you. It also appears to be the strap leaf type so make sure you get the proper care culture seets for this type as well.
Hope this helps

It looks like an Epidendrum to me. Not vandaceous.

Definitely look like Epidendums to me too.
We have these in our rainforest garden area and they grow like weeds
Just plant them in the garden and let them go wild as long as they don't get frozen, even then they will come back

I was thinking epi or dendrobium (like glomeratum).

I THINK this a dendrobium.TALL the terminal leaf is drooping for want of support system fert etc.

it's really hard to tell w/o knowing what the blooms look like. but like the others said, it could be an Epidendrium or Dendrobium species.

Reed stem epidendrum. Good quick grower, likes lots of light and water. Good in the garden.
