Orchids

A Guide to Cultivation
by Keith Marshall

Orchids are often perceived as difficult to grow and care for, yet with appropriate guidance they are well within the capabilities of any gardener. Keith Marshall, an amateur orchid grower with 20 years’ experience, offers clear and practical advice on how to grow orchids, outlining the conditions needed for their cultivation, including light, humidity, feed, water, warmth, and coping with pests and diseases. Orchids in the home and greenhouse are covered, as are subjects such as re-potting and types of compost. There is even a month-by-month diary showing what to do at each time of the year.

Illustrated with the author’s own photographs and drawings and paintings by his wife, Victoria Marshall, a botanical illustrator, this will be an invaluable guide for anyone interested in the cultivation and propagation of these beautiful plants.
