RHS Handbook: Orchids

Perfect for you if...

You've killed orchids before and assumed they're impossible, but want to actually succeed this time.
You love having living plants in your home and crave the structure of step-by-step projects and specific care instructions.
You're curious about the science behind what makes plants tick, not just the gardening basics.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a quick reference card, not a detailed book that requires time and attention to read through.
You prefer low-maintenance houseplants and don't enjoy the hands-on fussing orchids sometimes need.
You're looking for ornamental plants that thrive on neglect.

About this book

This guide from Kew's orchid experts presents 60 orchid species selected for their ease of cultivation and appeal. Orchids belong to the second largest plant family, containing 28,000 members, and are known for their diversity. Philip Seaton combines 12 practical projects with step-by-step advice covering plant care and cultivation. The book addresses introducing new orchids to your home, reviving struggling plants, and their basic maintenance. It explains how to produce and train flowers, collect and sow seeds, and display orchids in terrariums, on bark, or in baskets. Guidance covers watering schedules, repotting techniques, and the specific room conditions each species requires to thrive. Designed for both beginners and experienced growers, the book pairs botanical information with practical instruction to encourage cultivation of multiple orchid species using various growing methods. This title is part of the Kew Experts series, featuring advice and projects from Royal Botanic Kew Gardens' gardeners and botanical scientists on various gardening topics.
