This book is great. Lovely size, beautiful photographs and clear easy to understand information. It tells you about every type of Orchid that you can purchase and grow. The authors encourage the reader to have the confidence to try and grow these wonderful plants and they make you believe you can do it with ease.
I wanted to know how to repot my dying Orchid, the book told everything I needed to know. What size pot I'd need, the compost, feed and where to position it. A super little book one I'd recommend to anyone, expert or novice!

This Book written by the well know orchids team of Brian and Sara Ritterhausen is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of caring,propagating and all other aspects. It was second-hand but in
excellent condition and for the 'princely' sum of £1 from the 'World of Books' was a worthy addition to my Orchid libray of Books.
