I am a new Orchid enthuasits and this book gives lots of practical information on the care and cultural requirements of the main types of Orchids.The photographs are very clear and useful in repotting and handling the plants.

After reading tons of reviews on lots of Orchid books, I chose this one. I couldn't be much happier. This book is a easy read and very helpful for Orchid newbies like me. It is divided into seperate chapters for the popular Orchid types and how to care for each type. It reviews light, humidity, potting media, fertilizer and temperature requirements for each type of popular Orchid types. It also helps you determine what kind of Orchids are best to grow for the type of environment you can provide. A chapter is dedicated to the types of bugs, scale, fungus and other common problems you might run into and how to detect and treat each type.
Lots of great color photos and recommended Orchid suppliers too.
LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this book for my wife who loves plants, and orchids in particular. She has been thrilled with the information she has found and her orchids are already showing signs of improvement.

A nice book, good pictures and lots of genus' covered, but with only minimal care tips on those genus'.

I checked out many books on Orchids from the local library. This book, gave me all of the answers that I had been looking for, with great detail, and pictures! I wanted to make this a permanent reference source in my home, so I bought a copy on Amazon. I actually bought 2 copies, so I could share with my oldest son!
