The authors provide clear advice on identifying and treating common pests and diseases, as well as practical tips for displaying orchids indoors, under glass and outdoors.
A large section of the book is dedicated to an easy-to-use directory of more than 200 orchid species and hybrids, each entry accompanied by full-colour photographs, habitat details, flowering times and specific care requirements. With over 600 images and expert insights, this encyclopedia is both an essential resource for experienced growers and an inspiring introduction for beginners.
