Description

This book offers orchid growers a gold mine of information gleaned from the author's daily observation of orchid "behavior", the personal care of his plants and his discussions with numerous other orchid breeders. Besides the essential botanical study of his subject, the author discusses the housing of plants, their care, potting materials and feeding stuffs. An important chapter is devoted to orchid propagation and the various aspects of breeding and a special section is set aside for garden orchids. The text is rounded off with a description of the most important genera and species.
