In this practical, well-illustrated book the authors dispel the myth that orchids cannot be successfully grown by the amateur gardener. With nearly 100 colour photos and 150 black & white illustrations, many in the form of a step-by-step guide to orchid cultivation, the authors offer sound advice on every aspect of orchid growing. There are sections on seed-raising and propagation, potting, after care, coping with pests and diseases, greenhouse equipment, growing orchids in the home and exhibiting the grown plants.
