Orchid Supplies You Will Need

By Virginia Robinson


There is a wide array of supplies available to help you take care of your orchids, some are essentials, and some are handy extras. The number of products on the market can be a little overwhelming at times, but you don't have to spend a fortune to get started, stick to the basics and you'll be able to care for your orchids adequately without filling your house full of orchid supplies.

A flower store can provide you with all the orchid requirements that you need. You just have to find one in your area that is complete with the plant supplies and materials and build a relationship with them.

Pollution also has a significant effect on their slow process of growth and reproduction. If it happens that one generation is unable to reproduce, it will certainly have a bad effect on the slow cycle of growth of the flowers. These factors resulted to the rarity of some most wanted species and therefore resulted in the increase in its price.

Mounting Flowers- The majority of flowers are epiphytic which means that the grow naturally above the ground clinging to the surface of trees or rocks with their roots suspended in the air. If your flower is one of these species, then you will be able to mount it successfully. In my opinion mounted flowers look far more decorative than potted ones and you can get pretty creative.

Cattleya is another variety of extremely desirable flower. Raising these plants is somewhat difficult; however, its difficulty has made them even more appealing. Even those who are well-experienced flower growers find the cultivation of Cattleyas as a challenging task because the plants will not bloom properly if they are not provided with an environment that closely resembles their natural habitat. The flowers of the cattleya are very delicate, and the plant itself requires extreme care for it to be able to procreate beautiful flowers.

They may have materials and orchids supplies but always inspect the quality of orchids that they sell. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to be in the presence of so many beautiful blooms that you buy in bulk without really inspecting the plants. If it is your first time to visit that particular plant store or nursery, be conservative and build the relationship and trust first before investing so much for your new hobby.

Pesticides and insecticides are also important in growing flowers. Some plants are very popular with pests such spider mites and scale. You will also need pesticides to eliminate slugs and snails that are commonly found on top of the flower pots.

But many plant vendors with great reputations have set up shop online so that they have a wider outreach of clients. You will know more about these vendors though online forums and online communities for orchid lovers and enthusiasts.
