Orchids have always been popular but in the past very few people attempted
to grow them, this was because they were considered 'difficult' to grow.
The introduction of central heating, double glazing, conservatories and
so on in to modern homes brought the ability to easily care for many of
the worlds most beautiful orchids and get them to flower again and again
to everyone. |
| |
| Most of the plants these days are both species and hybrids that have been
mass produced using cloning techniques under laboratory conditions. This
is a good thing as it results in clean, free flowering plants that are free
from pests and diseases and are consistently high quality plants. You should
never buy orchids that are collected from the wild as it's illegal and they
may carry pests and diseases. |
