Orchid growing can be tricky under ideal climates, so add into the mix the fact you live in a colder than temperate climate the year round and you will have a harder time growing orchids. If you live where there is frost or hard freezes in the winter you will have to either grow your orchids inside your home or have a heated greenhouse. <!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2068119563778590"; /*

I was in my local Safeway grocery store and happen to see the blue moth orchids in the florist section. I was so taken by their beauty that I took the photo above. In fact I took several photos of them.&nbsp; Yes they were charging $29.99 for them. I was so enthralled by them that I asked the woman behind the counter more about them. You see, true blue orchids are RARE and I thought

Large commercial orchid growers usually grow the common easy to find orchid types. That leaves the rare orchid market wide open. Consider growing those hard to find orchids instead of the common Cattleyas or Phalaenopsis. So where do you find them? That part is simple just <!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2068119563778590"; /* inpost white */ google_ad_slot = "8114890786"; google_ad_width = 300;

Orchid growing during the winter months has its drawbacks. One of them is the problem of rot and mold. Both are caused by cooler temperatures and allowing water to pool around the plant for long periods of time. During the warmer months that water has a chance to evaporate before problems cause damage to the plants but in the winter <!-- google_ad_client = "pub-2068119563778590"; /* inpost white

The video below shows the care of the moth orchid which makes a great cut flower as well as a nice house plant. I have found that the moth orchid is just about the easiest orchid to grow.

The one great thing about orchids is that they are always in demand. Almost every season has a special occasion that orchids are known for. Because they are in demand the year round, many florists do not have them and that is where YOU come in. Florists need a second source of orchids should their regular wholesale source run dry. You can approach local florists and let them know that you are a

There is no doubt that orchids make the most exotic flowers for weddings. So what orchids are the best ones for weddings? The ruffled Cattleya orchid makes a great wedding flower either as a single flower in a wedding bouquet or paired with another one. Since they are a large flower, measuring almost 6" across for some of them and some of the extremely large ones measuring almost the size of a

Just imagine making money doing what you love doing - growing orchids. It can be done and it doesn't have to be on a large commercial scale. Orchid growing can be done in a small greenhouse or mid-sized garden room. The real money is made not by producing plants but by producing blooms. The BIG money is in selling the flowers.
