Review
"One of the largest plant families on the planet, orchids come in an extensive variety of floral types. This fact and the unfounded belief that they are difficult to grow have created an aura of rarity about their cultivation. . . . Seaton disputes this belief in this attractively illustrated guide to growing orchids indoors."--Marilyn K./div>--Marilyn K. Alaimo"Chicago Botanic Garden" (01/01/2011)
Product Description
From the elegant, warmth-loving moth orchid to the perennially popular slipper orchid, "Growing Windowsill Orchids" tells indoor gardeners everything they need to know in order to grow these exquisite flowering plants at home. With more than thirty years of experience growing and writing about the many species of orchids, Philip Seaton shares his recommendations for choosing the best plant, looking after plants that have finished flowering, and encouraging plants to flower year after year. Step-by-step instructions demystify not only the watering and feeding process, but also repotting, composting, and keeping orchids free from pests and disease. For those who wish to know more about the science behind orchids, this sumptuous book covers the basics of orchid biology and conservation. Written in non-technical language and copiously illustrated with line drawings and full-color photographs, "Growing Windowsill Orchids" is the perfect primer on everything the orchid novice needs to know to cultivate these perennial favorites in the home.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially as I did not know much about orchids or their care. I went to the Orchid House in Devon while on holliday with my daughter and we loved it so much that we bought some and then I had to learn how to look after them. A great read

This book provides the beginner, like myself, with all the information you need to start looking after the orchids you have bought. We all want to grow them to flower at least twice, that is what I aim for. This book, with many diagrams (a picture is worth a thousand words) is full of helpful drawings and photographs. I bought other books, but this book beats them all

An easy to read book which will help beginners know how to look after their orchids and maybe, extend their collections.
