My friend is really fond of orchids and she manage to make a living doing her hobby. Now she has an established orchid nursery. She said the most important of growing orchids is patience. You need to wait for months (or even years for some orchids) to see the flowers blossoming.

I have killed the only orchid I had. I forgot to water it. It is the type of plant that you will hurt if you water it too much. But if you don't water it enough, then it will die too. It's hard to keep it going. I'd need a calendar with a reminder or something to tell me to water it!

My mom loves orchids since it's very useful sometimes like in special ocassions at school. Mostly orchids are being used in graduations here so my mom is growing some for these kind of events.

I like orchids and I grow the vanda variety. They are so easy to care for and the blossoms are really lovely.

Orchids are one of the best flowers you can use for weddings. They last a long time, and are quite hardy. They are great for submerging in a vase of water. I regularly recommend orchids in wedding flowers, as they can also withstand the day being out of water. Dendrobiums and Cymbidiums are the most hardy for this purpose

Orchids are the hardest to grow. They need extra attention for them to grow normally. It will take a minimum of 6 months up to a year or more before you can see its flowers.

I used a horticulture growing bag for growing orchids at home & they worked wonders. I put them on hydroponic supply & walla! Although I screwed up somewhere down the line resulting in burning of all my orchids.
