Synopsis:
The second edition of the authoritative and detailed guide to caring for orchids in the home, covering all common types of orchids.
This book—the result of experience, continuous experimentation, and extensive research by expert authors Manos Kanellos and Peter White—communicates all the necessary information in a way that is easy to understand and highly illustrated with color photographs. It includes a section with answers to the most common questions in caring for orchids, and a photographic guide to signs, diagnosis, and treatment for bringing ailing orchids back to health.
In this second edition, the authors instruct readers on caring for re-flowering orchids and how to repot orchids, to ensure longevity for these popular plants. The new Q&A section directly addresses growers’ most prescient and common questions while an extended section dedicated to diagnosis and treatment explains in greater detail how to care for orchids. This is the only book you need when growing orchids at home.
