Items related to Introducing Orchids
Orchids are such an exotic plant that most people assume they must be very difficult to grow. In fact, they are very undemanding in their needs and can survive for many years. Combining beautiful photography with essential practical information, Introducing Orchids opens up the world of these fascinating plants to the vast number of people who are captivated by their intriguing beauty, but may be nervous of trying to grow them. The book divides the selection of orchids into 'easy', 'fairly easy' and 'needs care', in order to cater for both beginners and those who wish to be a little bit more adventurous. This categorisation also helps to cut through the mystique surrounding orchids by explaining how their natural habitat informs the growing conditions they require in the home.

Review:
At last - an orchid book offering more than just pretty pictures. Renowned orchid specialists Brian and Wilma Rittershausen share their in-depth expertise with the general grower, explaining in simple language how to get the best from your plant. With the numerous varieties and cultivars now on sale in garden centres and even supermarkets, few have detailed cultivation advice. As such they tend to be regarded as "disposable" flowers - flowering for up to 12 weeks before being replaced with another. But it is easy to keep them year after year with regular production of flowers with just a little help from the Rittershausens. Presented in an easy-to-read format with sections on easy, fairly easy and needs care selections of plants, it is accompanied by the stunning photographs of Linda Burgess. A must for all orchid lovers and growers, it is the best work on the subject for the general enthusiast on the market at the moment. - Lucy Watson
