Description
This book dispels the myths surrounding orchids. Did you know that most orchids can be grown outdoors in anybody's garden with very little effort, if any at all? And that only a very select few need specialised care? That roses need more pampering than orchids? Colour pics of breathtaking orchids throughout the book take the reader on a fantasy trip, and to-the-point descriptions explain everything you want to know about all the species, including their shade, water, light and feeding requirements. A series of photographs illustrate exactly how to divide orchid plants, how to repot them and what their growing medium should look like. But beware, you may become infatuated with, if not addicted to orchids for life! The exquisite charm, beauty, and fragrance of orchids have fascinated people for centuries, and will no doubt continue to do so for many more. This book shows how orchids can be grown in an everyday garden. Learn how to treat your orchids (and most of them are not fussy at all!), how much water and shade they will need, what to feed them and how to propagate your plants. Most species are discussed in detail, and the accompanying photographs will help you to identify the different kinds
