Let Me Tell You More About
The Orchid Gardener's Bible
This book is not a catalog of rare orchids.
It is not a collection of all the orchid types in existence, nor is it about hybridization.
If you’ve been growing orchids for more than 10 years, there’s a little chance that this book will be beneficial, but I guarantee you’ll learn a new angle on doing things.
Furthermore, I don’t promise that by reading this book you’ll achieve instant reblooming of your orchids or miraculous recoveries. That’s because a lot depends on what you do with this information rather than the information itself.
So, what is this book all about, and why do I believe it’s “The Orchid Gardener’s Bible”?
This book offers something more valuable and more reliable. It offers understanding beyond what is already out there. With that understanding, your orchids will not only survive, but they will thrive and reward you.
You'll learn:
01.
Why looks can be deceiving, and how to shop for your orchids without being forced to bring a knowledgeable friend along.
02.
Identify your orchids because, without knowing what you have, you won’t know how to care for them.
03.
Develop strategies and a fertilizer regimen for different stages of your orchid life cycle.
04.
Develop your observation and monitoring skills so that you can diagnose physiological disorders, pests, and diseases, and take action early enough.
05.
Gain insights into general care, including repotting, potting media, cultural, and special practices.
