So beautiful and so exotic-looking, its easy to assume that orchids are
difficult to grow.
.
But orchid experts say theyre surprisingly tough especially the
phalaenopsis, a particularly hardy variety.
.
I would call those the king of the houseplants, says Lynne Copeland, past
president of the Orchid Society of Alberta (OSA). I dont think there is
any other houseplant that you can grow that has as much to offer as those
plants do. Its easy. Anyone can do it.
.
Ms. Copeland, who has been growing orchids for 11 years, currently
maintains 250 plants in her southern Alberta home of Innisfail. Once youve
grown orchids, you never grow other houseplants again, she says. Theyre
very, very addictive, and theyre just so much more interesting and so much
more rewarding, I think.
During OSAs 34th annual Orchid Fair in Edmonton last year, she offered
these secrets to growing fabulous orchids at home. Here are her top tips.
.
Topics covered on this article:
1. Choose the right orchid
2. Place your plant in an orchid-friendly area
3. Make sure to maintain orchid care
.
.
And the nice thing about them is that, as they get older, they tend to get
better. As it ages, it will put out more and more flower spikes, and a lot
of those become ever-blooming.
