Two Great Resources To Help You Learn To Grow Orchids


Hi Gang.....Ready for more tips on how to grow better orchids? I sure hope so.


I have two very exciting resources for you today that I really think you'll find worth ten times their price in terms of what they give back to you and your orchids.

Before I tell you about these terrific resources, I want to tell you a little story.

When I first started growing orchids, I couldn't keep one alive for more than about two months before it just flat out croaked on me. As you know, orchids are not cheap plants, and my wife was beginning to wonder how expensive my new hobby would get before I had something to show for it.

So, please take some time to learn about orchid care before you start caring for them yourself--it only makes sense, really, not to throw out good money because your plants are dying right, left and center.

Well, when I was starting out, I sure wish someone would have pointed out these two books to me, that I am now pointing out to you. Yes, you will have to spend about forty dollars (US) to get both of these, but you can easily recover the cost of that if you just prevent the loss of one plant from the tips you'll learn here.

The first resource is a guide to orchid care that tells you exactly how to take care of your orchids and keep them fit for years to come--it's called The Orchid Care Expert, and this is one book you will need to get you started--you can Click Here to read more about it.

The second book tells you how to boost your orchids' growth by up to 250%, using fertilizers you make at home. You can save a pretty penny using these recipes, and they are better than store fertilizers. You can Click Here to buy this great little book on homemade orchid fertilizer recipes.

So there you have it, two great resources on How To Grow Orchids.

P.S. If you are serious about orchids, please get these two books. They both come with a money-back guarantee and are invaluable "textbooks" on what to do (and what not to do) with your orchids.

P.P.S. I would love to hear some feedback from you concerning the books and your thoughts on them. You can post your comments on this site.Thanks.

Learn How To Grow Orchids Like The Pros!

Hello fellow orchid enthusiasts! Ready to learn how to grow orchids?

Let's get started...

My name is John Miley, and to my friends and family, I am known as a bit of an orchid "nut".

Not that this is such a bad thing, being an orchid nut, but let me tell you a little secret: I didn't always grow beautiful orchids--in fact, my first attempts at orchid growing ended in tossing out some pretty expensive plants because I had killed them dead as door nails!

That's right, my first dozen orchids--all dead. How could this be? What had I done wrong!?

Well, that brings me to the first tip I can give you about caring for your orchid: do not over-water you orchids......really, please don't, or you'll send them to an early and watery grave.

I will leave you with a helpful article on the subject of over-watering that will save you a great deal of distress over how to water your orchid. Take some time to read this and you will be well on your way to avoiding 75% of reasons most orchids bite the proverbial dust.

The article is from Plant-Care.com, and will help you get started on your quest to learn how to grow orchids at home.

P.S. Here's the article

"Watering a Phalaenopsis Orchid is key to their care since they have no major water storage area other then their leaves. Remember they should never "completely" dry out.

Most orchids grown in pots are filled with bark chips, stones, treefern or some other very loose material. Many growers of phals for use indoors use spaghnum moss as their media of choice.

When first bringing your orchid home give it a good and thorough watering. I may be wrong but have yet to see an orchid in stores that was wet. The best place to water your orchid is probably at the kitchen sink. Use luke warm water and water the plant for about 15 seconds and make sure to thoroughly wet the media completely. Allow the plant to drain for about 15 minutes. It may appear dry but it has had enough water - no over watering!
