Review #1: Wonderful Orchid Book
2009-04-21 
[[Orchid Grower's Companion: Cultivation, Propagation, and Varieties Indoors]] I have been growing orchids since 2005 and enjoyed reading this book and looking at the wonderful pictures. I learned quite a bit about orchids from misting them daily, cutting the stems, etc. I would recommend this book to any orchid grower, new to the plants or to someone who has grown for many years. Find a window they like, mist daily, fertilize after bathing and you should have great blooms to come.
Review #2: Beautiful and Informative Book!
2006-09-28
I am a beginner as far as orchids go. I received a free orchid from Sarah Jessica Parker when I signed up for a free sample of her perfume "Lovely." Now I am hooked and in love with orchids! They are so beautiful! This book is one of the best and shows perfectly how lovely orchids are. It contains a wealth of information too. I highly recommend it.
Review #3: Excellent.
2005-04-04
This is an excellent book about orchids. It shall take you from the very first steps into a more advanced understanding of this hobby. There's a lot of pictures and they are beautiful. The matter is tidily organized. Growing media, phytopathology, light and temperature requirements are clearly explained. I do recommend this book. For those who are on a budget a good alternative would be "Growing orchids" by Rittershausen. |
