What do we Know About Orchids?

We unveiled Orchid Tips October 1, 2000. We've worked with Orchids for a long time and created this site as a useful resource. Our hobby and passion is Orchid care.

Our Purpose is to Simplify Orchid Care, and Show you in a Short Time What it Took us Many years to Learn in the Orchid World

Orchids already often have long names, very unique backgrounds and you can hear quite a variety of Orchid care methods and growing techniques depending on where you look.

A Quick Intro to Get Started Choosing Your First Orchid

If you're new to Orchid growing and would like an Orchid that prefers a sunny window, we recommend Dendrobium Orchids, Cattleya Orchids and Vanda Orchids. If you prefer a shade Orchid for that table a little further from the window, we recommend Paphiopedilum Orchids and Phalaenopsis Orchids. For an Orchid that prefers care conditions between these just mentioned, you may want to grow a Miltonia!

Our Favorite Orchid Books

The two most informative overall Orchid Books that we recommend are Orchid Grower’s Companion: Cultivation, Propagation, and Varieties and Flora's Orchids.
