Orchid Growing Illustrated
ISBN: 0713713658 / 9780713713657
Authors: Brian Rittershausen & Wilma Rittershausen
Publisher: Blandford Press, first published January 1985

This robust hardcover spans 160 pages and weighs around 930?g, measuring approximately 23?cm by 28?cm. It combines practical instruction with plentiful visual inspiration, making it a trusted manual for orchid lovers, from keen beginners to experienced growers.

The book opens with an introduction to orchid biology and an overview of greenhouse and indoor care considerations. It then moves into comprehensive sections on propagation, repotting, watering, feeding, pest protection and hybridisation. With close to 249 photographs—nearly 100 in vivid colour—alongside detailed diagrams, the advice is easy to follow and directly applicable in your own home or glasshouse.

The tone is encouraging and precise, guiding readers to grow healthy, flowering orchids with confidence. Though first published in the UK, its guidance translates well to Australian conditions, especially for those cultivating orchids in pots, conservatories or shadehouses. Practical, richly illustrated, this edition is a valuable addition to any gardener’s reference collection.
