Orchid Power - An Exotic Touch To Your Home
Orchid Power: "Orchids: An Exotic Touch To Your Home
The frequent association of orchids with mist-shrouded jungle canopies has led to the common misconception that growing them poses too many problems.
Fortunately, relocating to a remote tropical island or investing in a greenhouse are not prerequisites to enjoying these exotic, breathtaking and unique flowering plants. Anyone who can grow indoor flowering plants successfully will find scores of brilliant and affordable orchids to fit every situation and room in their home.
There are an estimated 30 to 40 thousand different species of orchids found in nature; the plant family's incredible popularity has led to the cloning and hybridization of more than a million different species. With such a vast universe, finding the right plant to match a living room's light level and wallpaper should not require a major expedition.
How to Grow Orchids
Over the years, orchid hobbyists and growers have found that several genera grow easily under normal indoor conditions. For the most part, lighting conditions similar to those required for African violets, such as bright east- or west-facing windows, or a shaded southern window with no direct sun, will be suitable for most orchids. Even a sunny, southern exposure filtered with sheer curtains can be appropriate for orchids requiring higher light levels."
