Your Road To Orchid Care

This page will help you if you need information on orchid care that is more specific for various kinds of orchid genera. There are links on this page to pages for some of the more popular orchids. Caring for orchids is similar to other plants. Orchids need light, water, fertilizer and occasional re-potting. And I actually think it will help if you relate to your orchid plants by talking or singing to them. Like any living creature they appreciate being cared for and loved. I have arranged the information on the care of orchids by genus.

There is also a link to the page to Ask A Question. Here you can get answers to your orchid questions from Melissa and from other visitors to this site.

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.

If you are interested in checking out Nigel's ebook further click on the "Click here" link below and it will take you to where you can learn more about it.
