Orchids have
now become the most popular pot plant in Europe. With so many
hundreds of varieties to choose from, flowering at different
times of the year, it is simply now a matter of choice over
colour, shape and price. In garden centres and supermarkets,
flowering orchids can be found on sale for under £10.
Most are simply labelled 'orchid' or 'orchidee' and if named
are most often inaccurate. Unfortunately, growing instructions
are vague and generic with many plants in unsuitable composts
and containers and kept in the wrong conditions such as next
to a chiller cabinet! Other more exotic orchid plants come
with greatly inflated prices.
Many wishing to buy such plants will never have grown an orchid
before and may believe they die once flowering is over. This
is not at all the case. Most orchids are ideally suited to
centrally heated homes and can make excellent house plants
that flower repeatedly year on year given the right care.
This is the main aim of Regal Orchids;
to de-mystify the idea that orchids are exotic, difficult
to grow and require special care and attention. We most often
say that orchids require benign neglect!
Getting value for
money is about getting a quality plant with the correct advice
and continued support beyond the point of purchase. Our expert
staff are always just an email or telephone call away to advise
on the best way to encourage your plant to flourish for many
years to come.
