Growing Orchids Is Fun
Share and Enjoy:
I had no idea what to do with them but it was pretty obvious that they needed to be repotted so I went to Walmart for supplies. There I found a book called Growing Orchids is Fun by Albert P. Hollingsworth. On the front cover there was a big note that said the book was endorsed by the American Orchid Society so I purchased it and hoped it would help.
The book is a small, soft covered book with 102 pages. Inside there are beautiful photographs of orchids in all shapes, sizes and colors. The first 22 pages of the book cover the basics like care and feeding of orchids while he rest of the book deals with the different species of orchids and what makes each one special. While there was some good information in the front of the book, it was really a little too basic to be of much help. I really was hoping for more information in general and more of a what to do if your orchid looks like this chapter. The last half of the book was very informative about the different species of which I knew nothing but that was not the help I needed when I purchased the book.
If you are an orchid lover and are looking for a book that has some basic information and beautiful pictures than this book might be a good addition to your collection. If you are looking for your first book on the care and feeding of your orchids, I would say to look for another book.

This might be a good for me because I don't have green thumbs!
Great price for this book and I have grown orchids too, love them! Thanks for the info about this, good to have
I think they are beautiful, but never knew how to take care of, i'll look for the book.
I think that it would be awesome if I could grow them. I don't have the slightest bit of a green thumb. I will just have to admire yours.
