      After growing bromeliads successfully,  I decided it was time for a
      new challenge. My target was orchids. Orchids require a temperature range
      consistent with their place of origin: some demand high temperatures and
      flourish in a hothouse, others are quite content with the temperature of
      the typical home (temperate house), still others are unhappy if the
      temperature rises above 60 degrees (cool house).

 Before you buy plants, try to
        research the cultural conditions and how to provide them.
           Select plants that will grow in
        the environment you can supply.
          For more cultural
          information, growing tips and  and solving problems, 
I recommend to contact
          your local Orchid Society.
