Your Road To Orchid Care

You have arrived at another page with information on orchid care to help you along your orchid growing journey.

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.

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 and my current favorite e-book is a little one I have recently completed. It is called Orchid Care for Easy Orchids Tips for Successful Care of Orchids.

It is about 30 pages long and it is filled with a lot of great information on how to grow and bloom 5 kinds of "easy to grow" orchids. If you are interested contact me through the Orchid Contact Page. It is $4.99 and available in .pdf format or Kindle format, and payable through Paypal. I will be building a separate page for this little e-book and adding a Paypal button soon.

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 as a good one to start with especially if you are new to growing orchids.
