Your Road To Orchid Care

You've reached another great page if you need information on orchid care and orchid culure for various kinds of orchids plants. Caring for orchids is similar to other plants, they need light, water, fertilizer and occasional re-potting. It will also help if you talk or sing with your orchid plants. Like any living creature they appreciate being cared for and loved. I have arranged the infomation on the care of orchids by genus.

The real trick with orchids is to gain some experience and education and to be preventive with respect to problems. It really doesn't take much time or knowledge to keep them healthy.

Frequently people write me and ask me to recommend resources or sources of information to learn about orchids. Currently the one I am recommending first is Orchid Care Expert: A Practical Guide by Nigel Howell. It is an excellent e-book.

I own about 20 hard orchid books and over 5 orchid e-books. I like different books for different reasons. But this is the one I would suggest to start with right now whether you are a new orchid grower or have some experience.
