Growing orchids and caring for orchids is in itself not very difficult. After all most kinds of orchids
survive in the wild, where mother nature takes care of them and human
hands are not needed. Growing and taking care of orchids does not take
much time during the year. The only time they need more care is after
the blooming period. Then caring for your orchids requires a bit more
time, as pot-bound plants have to be divided and re-potted and other
pots will need some fresh orchid growing mix and fertiliser. They can
then take care of themselves except for some watering and perhaps a
change of position when sunlight is too strong or too weak. Only when
new spikes appear, must they be cared for a bit more. Growing orchids
then needs some work. But the result of growing orchids and of looking after them
is then soon apparent, when spikes grow into blooms, to be admired by
you and all your friends

As you see, the care of orchids is a year round business, but caring for
orchids definitely is very rewarding when theorchids go into bloom.
