Many people think orchids are hard to grow.
I spend lots of my time convincing people that they do not have to have a greenhouse to grow orchids. I grow four types of orchids, each different in habit of growth and types and colors of flowers. The one that I recommend for beginners is the Phalenopsis orchid which has a spray of flowers of different colors that will keep blooming up to three months. When the flower stem is cut off, it will re-bloom. All orchid plants are good growers if certain cultural practices are followed.
