Growing Orchids Indoors

Having my own garden at home, makes me reminisce the past. I could still recall how my grandmother used to sing to her favorite flowers, they are the roses and orchids. These two flowering plants usually are the main attraction or the head turner plants in our garden. Roses are woody perennial, while the orchids are diverse and widespread family of flowering plants with blooms that are often colorful and fragrant. Growing up, I always though that these orchids are hard to maintain and care for. But, now that I am also an enthusiast for orchids, I find it very interesting and fascinating how these orchids grow and bloom as a beautiful flower. They are actually not that hard to maintain, as long as you choose the right orchid to suit the particular environment of your home or location.

There are actually things that you need to check first before you choose an orchid to grow. You should always check if the orchid will have enough space when fully grown, because there are species of orchids that can be massive when fully grown and usually are best placed in a green house. Next is the temperature requirements that the orchid needs. Cool, intermediate, and warm are the three types of temperature that they need. It only means that they require a certain amount of minimum night temperatures in order to grow successfully. We have a yellow phalanopsis orchid in our living room, the good thing about phalanopsis is that they are elegant orchids which is meant for indoor use and their long sprays of colorful flowers stay fresh for months. I don't have to buy costly air fresheners anymore, just to make sure that our house is clean and smells fresh.

Always remember that orchids typically grows on trees and their roots are water-gathering organs that needs loads of fresh air flow to be healthy. Orchids are a lot like us and can survive in any habitat..

The Botany of Orchids

Time flies indeed, I used to be that little girl who follows my grandmother around, or wherever she goes I make sure that I should be there by her side. Now, I already have a family of my own and things have completely changed but, one things for sure that will never change, it is my love for flowers and gardening. It was my grandmother who instill in my mind that plants are just like humans, who needs to be taken cared of because they too are precious. Without these plants, things would have been so different and our world would never be a perfect place to live in. I remember my grandmother has these special type of orchids and every morning she would check up on them and even speaks to these yellow orchid flowers.
