Orchids are such an exotic plant that most people assume they must be very difficult to grow. In fact, they are very undemanding in their needs and can survive for many years. Combining beautiful photography with essential practical information, Introducing Orchids opens up the world of these fascinating plants to the vast number of people who are captivated by their intriguing beauty, but may be nervous of trying to grow them. The book divides the selection of orchids into 'easy', 'fairly easy' and 'needs care', in order to cater for both beginners and those who wish to be a little bit more adventurous. This categorisation also helps to cut through the mystique surrounding orchids by explaining how their natural habitat informs the growing conditions they require in the home.
