increased tremendously.Not only have the sales
increased but the amount of new additions to the Orchidaceae family has
increased too. Even though there are so many different types of orchids,
only a handful of them can handle the enviroment of a home. Some of them
include the Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Oncidiums and Cymabidiums. With
orchids becoming more common they are much easier to come across. You
can purchase them at mass merchants such as Target or Home Depot, through
internet web sites such as Orchid Web
or the Orchid Mall and even at your local
greenhouse. Before purchasing an orchid you must be sure that you can
provide the right growing conditions for that particuar type.Orchids can
be broken down into levels of growing difficulty such as Beginner, Intermediate,
and Advanced. This is very helpful on deciding what orchid you would like
to purchase. For your #1 source of information on growing, puchasing and
even displaying your orchids, consider joining a orchid society such as
the American Orchid Society or even an affiliated
chapter if its available to you! News and information, forum discussions,
events and purchasing orchids will be apart of most orchid societies.
