Description: "In this volume, Margaret and Charles Baker have assembled a staggering amount of data about these plants in a clear, easy-to-use format. By combining weather records and habitat reports with information from successful growers, the authors have formulated recommendations for approximately 1,300 species within this important group. Numerous orchid growers have found that slight modifications based on this kind of information can dramatically improve the health and growth rate of their plants. For example, by adjusting the length of the rest period, temperatures, humidity, and amount and timing of water and fertilizer, growers are able to solve cultural problems, prevent disease, and ensure abundant bloom.

The wealth of information provided in Orchid Species Culture: Oncidium/Odontoglossum Alliance makes it an invaluable addition to the library of every serious orchidist."--Jacket.
