Growing Orchids - Successful Gardening Indoors and Out by Brian Rittershausen

Growing Orchids - Successful Gardening Indoors and Out by Brian Rittershausen

This book on orchids opens with a round-the-world tour of the range of tropical and temperate habitats in which orchids are found, as well as an explanation of the main orchid types. A section on growing orchids indoors is included, whether in glass tanks and baskets or on trees and stones, as well as growing orchids outdoors. An orchid directory looks in detail at a wide range of orchid species and hybrids, providing information on their natural habitat, size, flowering time and growing requirements. All the main genera are covered, from cymbidium and dendrobium, to phalaenopsis and phragmipedium, as well as a selection of rare orchids. Also included is a list of suppliers and an easy-to-use glossary.

Brian & Wilma Rittershausen come from a family of orchid experts that has had an orchid nursery in Devon, England, since the 1920s. Their international reputation is reflected in a clientele as far flung as Australia and the United States. They lecture and write on orchids and have published a number of important books on the subject. Brian is a regular judge at all the major orchid shows and consistently wins gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show, while Wilma writes regularly for various orchid magazines.
