| An orchid plant makes a very elegant and exotic gift, that will long be remembered. Orchid plants are not only very eye-catching and attractive but they are among the most adaptable plants on the earth. In spite of their fragile appearance, orchid plants are more enduring than people usually think. The only special measure to be taken is to ensure re-potting every two years in a medium which provides support for the root but also air spaces between medium particles - such as pebbles mixed with fresh pine bark. An orchid plant needs watering when the growth medium is dry, needs indirect sunlight but is perfectly well with artificial lighting also (best if special fluorescent tubes are used). Most orchid plants are adaptable to the medium temperature, to the conditions offered by any home or greenhouse. |
