Orchids, Orchid Care and Orchid Nurseries

Orchids Plants Profile and Growing Hints.

Orchids are one of the most popular plants in the world. These Orchid pages provide information on how to grow orchids, different orchid species, Orchids for sale from Australian Orchid Nurseries, Orchid Accessories, Orchid Societies and Orchid shows and fairs across Australia. Orchids are widely used as cut flowers and are particulary popular in the wedding industry as well as for table displays. Orchids can purchased as mature plants or as seedlings, it is also possible to buy Orchids that have been cloned using tissue culture techniques in flasks. Some experience in deflasking orchids is desirable before attempting this process. Orchid clubs and societies are a great way of obtaining knowledge on many aspects of growing and caring for orchids. Some orchids are terrestial orchids, (they grow in the ground) and other orchids are epiphytic orchids (they grow on a host such as a tree or fallen log). Australia has a wide range of native orchids and some of these are large spectacular while others are rather small but very pretty. The most common orchid grown commercially?.... the vanilla orchid.
