PREFACE
|
This, the third book in the series, gives full details of its subjects, the vandas, dendrobiums and others. Potting materials, fertilisers, propagation and the use of glass-houses are each given extensive attention and how to care for your orchids and protect them from pests, diseases and predators is also fully explained.
The fascinating story of the discovery of the vandas and dendrobiums is told and a picture is drawn of the devastation wrought by some early field staff of prominent European and American nurseries. Using the modern propagation methods described in this book, we can, with care and patience, product beautiful and rewarding blooms of truly spectacular plants.
