Links to articles - orchid care

Below you will find links to a few websites I visited while learning about the basics of caring for our orchids.

Caution: Remember to evaluate what you read on various websites (including this one) before you put it into practice. When in doubt, I suggest favoring information found on the American Orchid Society website. They may not change what they say very often, but at least you aren't likely to kill your orchids by following their advice.

Outside link to Burnham Nurseries website Burnham Nurseries - I've linked directly to their phalaenopsis information for beginners, but there is also additional information on this site about repotting and reblooming. It is very simple and short - no brain strain here.
