Orchid Advice

When you first start growing orchids, it seems like that the first-timer has questions about everything. I know I did. What became confusing to me is that many times different people gave different answers to the same question.

First, it is important to realize that there are so many different types of orchids that require different types of care. The same question may receive a differnt answer depending on the type of orchid. Also, each grower has his/her own unique climate and habits. Both of these can affect how you care for your orchids. Finally, there are different ways to accomplish the same goal and each may work.

So what is the practical advice regarding all of these different kinds of advice.

1. If what you are doing works, do not change it because of someone else's advice. Stick with what works for you.

2. If what you are doing does not work, use some of that advice to try different approaches and find out what works for you.

HAPPY GROWING!!!
