I think you mean carbon DIOXIDE. And if one of your major goals/objectives is geared around carbon dioxide sequestration/storage...shifting your focus to trees would be more valuable. Trees are far more efficient at the process than any orchid (species or hybrid) ever will be.

As for food and shelter...again, trees are a greater resource.
