Orchids is the latest addition to the successful Care Manual series. No other plants surpass orchids in their delicate beauty, stunning diversity, and aura of mystery. Extremely adaptable, these plants take equally well to the hothouse, the conservatory, and the garden. Watering, feeding, lighting, and temperature conditions are discussed by the well-respected father-daughter team of Brian and Sara Rittershausen. They give practical and easy-to-follow advice on the propagation, hybridization, and care of potted orchids. The step-by-step photographs and illustrations give the novice grower confidence and serve as a handy reference for the more experienced hand.
