Orchid Collections
The Orchid Park functioned as a nursery and nurture area for various types of orchids, both species of orchids and hybrid orchids. As many as 19 species of orchids are recorded in the Orchid Park. Orchid Park has three green houses which divided for planting area, a sun-loving orchid species nurture area, and a mixed species orchid growing area. There are also a fruit pavilion, and a variety of fruit trees.
One of the mainstay species owned by the Badak LNG Orchid Park is the black orchid (Coelogyne pandurata) which is the East Kalimantan’s flora mascot. This orchid with bright green petals and flower crowns with black spots on the labellum can be found in the third Green house area where more than 500 pots of black orchid plants have been successfully cultivated. In addition there is also a sugarcane orchid (Grammatophyllum speciosum) which is known as the largest orchid in the world which can grow up to 5-7 m. There is also the twinkling orchid Phalaenopsis bellina which was successfully obtained through the tissue culture propagation method with production yields reaching hundreds of seedlings.

A total of 4 participants from the National Petroleum Authority (ANP) of Timor Leste, who are undergoing training at PT Badak NGL, took the opportunity to visit the conservation area of PT Badak NGL on Thursday, August 21, 2025. The participants visited the Orchid Park to learn about the conventional cultivation techniques of rare and protected plants. Due to the proximity of the area to the Urban Forest, participants were also able to study endemic and protected fauna. Subsequently, participants learned about tissue culture techniques as a modern science in the cultivation of protected flora. The Tissue Culture Lab is part of the orchid garden for the protection of endemic and protected orchids from Kalimantan.
