Description
By demystifying the orchid, this comprehensive illustrated guide enables even novices to grow these beautiful and mysterious plants. Covers the ten most common, readily-available orchids and their needs, with tips for making first purchases. Describes the two basic patterns of growth in orchids: monopodials (single-growth plants), and sympodials (which produce side-by-side, seasonal growth). Covers how to judge flower quality, and how to properly situate your plants for optimal light, humidity, temperature, and other growing conditions. All vital topics of orchid care are fully covered, including watering, fertilizing, and feeding your plants; selecting the appropriate compost, repotting, methods of propagation, and disease and pest control. Information on shade, glass, greenhouses and hydroponics allows those who wish to take their orchid growing to the next level.--From publisher description.
