The flowers are small
January 2nd, 2010
Due to import regulations and conservation considerations, we recommend you grow only orchid hybrids so as not to promote the collecting of species from the wild. They are not fragrant, but have very interesting and colorful “lady slipper” shaped flowers. There are many spectacular hybrids available, and quite a number of species. Paphiopedilums are one of the best orchid delivery groups to grow under artificial lighting.
Although the flowers are small, about one inch in size, they are produced in great profusion. It is relatively simple to take tip cuttings having a few aerial roots. These are undoubtedly one of the easiest orchids to grow and one of the most prolific groups. Epidendrum hybrids are becoming popular plants. A tough group of orchids is the Epidendrums.
