Author Description

<b>Growing Orchids</b><p>The beauty, complexity and incredible diversity of orchid flowers are unrivaled in the plant world. These exotic beauties are made up of the largest family of flowering plants on earth, with over 30,000 different species, and at least 200,000 hybrids. Orchids can be seen in the equatorial tropics, the arctic tundra, and everywhere in between. The need for this diversity lies in the orchid's amazing ability to adapt to its given environment. With so many different orchid varieties that exist in so many different growing conditions, it is relatively easy to find an orchid that is well suited to the conditions that you can provide - whether it is a kitchen window or a full-size greenhouse.</p><p>Most cultivated orchids are native to the tropics. In their natural habitat, they stick themselves to the bark of trees, or the surface of other plants. Their thick, white roots are equally adapted to absorb moisture and dissolved nutrients. Because these tropical orchids often grow high in the trees, rather than on the forest floor, they are accustomed to good air circulation and plenty of light. They prefer a 12-hour day, all year-round, and need a high intensity of light - about the same as midsummer conditions in temperate regions.<br> </p><p><b>Are orchids difficult to grow? </b>Many of them are. In fact, some are almost impossible to keep alive, much less bring into bloom-even for professional growers. But there are dozens of different species of orchids, and hundreds of hybrids, that are perfectly happy growing on a sunny windowsill or under lights. <p><b>Why you need this orchids book</b><br>The beauty of this orchids book is its simple step-by-step guide on how to startup and maintain your own orchid cultivation. The amount of fertilization and water applications, how to cultivate and harvest orchids, different species of orchids and their growth requirements are all detailed comprehensively in this book. <p><b>Rush now and grab your copy.</b><
