About this listen
Would you like to know how to grow and care for an orchid?
To many people, looking after an orchid is a mystery. I was one of those people. I didn't understand why my orchids weren't blooming, and if they did, why the blooms would last just weeks rather than months. I've experienced my share of joys and frustrations growing this gorgeous flower. I've read numerous books, talked to experienced growers, and watched many tutorials on how to grow and care for them. Through these years of learning and experimenting, I've been able to replicate the long blooms and eradicate the premature losses.
This book is designed to help complete beginners grow, care for, and ultimately understand the orchid.
Here's a preview of what you'll learn:
- The different types of orchids
- The easiest orchids to grow for beginners
- Which tools to use for orchid care
- The ideal conditions for optimal orchid growth
- How to pot and repot your orchid
- The pests and diseases to look out for
- Why blooms fail
- My top tips to orchid success
- Further orchid resources
- And much more!

Marijuana has been grown for thousands of years and has been used as a way of relaxing for much of that time. Long illegal to possess in many places, the world is slowly coming around to the fact that it is less harmful than many other vices, such as alcohol, and can act as an immense relief for many people who suffer with chronic pain.

Imagine walking out of your back door, greeted by a beautiful garden full of flowers, and even more importantly, food! But for most of us, it all just sounds a bit too good to be true. The truth is, traditional gardening can be hard, extremely hard. You need a lot of space, and problems like drought, weeds, and rotting often result in very bad yields.

Traditionally, greenhouses were only for the rich. But this is not the case today. You can make your own greenhouse for next to nothing…and you don’t have to be an architect! Many people assume that growing your own food requires a certain skill, but you certainly don’t have to be a gardener! What you need is reliable knowledge from someone who started with just a handful of seeds and now uses their greenhouse to make an extra income. You need a step-by-step guide to planting, pruning, and harvesting. And most of all, you need a plan!

Fruits and vegetables can be pricey, especially if they’re out of season. And, of course, they can be even more expensive if you choose to go organic. You could always plant your own garden, but, maybe, you don’t have enough space outside or, maybe, you live in a colder climate. Unfortunately, not everyone lives where they can plant an outdoor garden. The alternative is to set up an indoor hydroponic system.

An excellent starter guide for doing raised bed gardening

By: G.F. QUINN
The information provided is good, sound, and true. I have raised several orchids and what is discussed in this book is what everyone should know before they start. The book is a quick listen and is organized in a format that is easy to comprehend, it does not cover all topics in depth.
While the narrator did an ok job, I could hear background echo noise, which made me believe the studio may have been at fault.
Overall I would recommend to any Orchidist or those looking at growing them for the first time.
