If you are familiar with the origins of the orchids you want to grow, their natural habitats, and the climatic conditions they like, you should have no problem cultivating them successfully yourself. It is simply a question of understanding how the plants survive in the wild and learning how to re-create those conditions as closely as possible at home. Written with authority and packed with good solid information, the Orchid Grower's Companion offers all the help you need.
Here you will find a directory of some 150 orchid species and hybrids complete with detailed information on their growing and maintenance needs. Instruction is given on compost and potting, light and heat requirements, and how to encourage flowering.
Complete with an in-depth study of the geographical distribution of orchids, and an historical account of their cultivation, this book is an exceptional guide to the subject - illustrated with some of the best photography available - and irresistible for new and experienced orchid growers alike.
