“Orchid” a plant name that makes most people quake in their boots for dread of the inevitable. Yet, it remains that some orchid hybrids are as easy to care for as a cactus or philodendron. You just have to know a few key facts about how orchids function. Guess what!? Orchids are an old friend of mine. I worked for an orchid growing company for two years and published a paper about orchid roots. I’ve got you covered!


Vanda

Tropical orchids are one of the most rewarding interior plants to keep, but they often take specialty care. In this week's episode of Unearth Horticulture, I show viewers how to keep their vanda orchid healthy even in dry climates. Because vandas like over 75% humidity in their native habitat, their roots dry out quickly here. Join me as I demonstrate how to avoid that problem!

Reblooming

In this episode of Unearth Horticulture, I delve into the inner workings of the Phalaenopsis orchid (a.k.a. moth orchid). If you've ever wondered the secret to achieving blooms on the same plant year after year, tune in!
