Growing orchids and caring for orchids is in itself not very difficult. After all most kinds of orchids survive in the wild, where mother nature takes care of them and human hands are not needed. Growing and taking care of orchids does not take much time during the year. The only time they need more care is after the blooming period. Then caring for your orchids requires a bit more
time, as pot-bound plants have to be divided and re-potted and other pots will need some fresh orchid growing mix and fertiliser. They can then take care of themselves except for some watering and perhaps a change of position when sunlight is too strong or too weak. Only when new spikes appear, must they be cared for a bit more. Growing orchids then needs some work. But the result of growing orchids and of looking after them is then soon apparent, when spikes grow into blooms, to be admired by you and all your friends
