Are orchids hard to grow?

Answer

No, many orchids can be grown successfully at home if a few simple rules concerning light, temperature and humidity are followed. Moth orchids (Phalaenopsis), slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum) and corsage orchids (Cattleya) are particularly suitable for home culture.
