To be successful in growing orchids, just follow these suggestions:

 Know the environment you have to offer your orchids and match this with the orchids that fit. See Chapter 5 for more information on your growing environment.

 If necessary, modify your growing area to help your orchids perform to their best. Chapter 5 also addresses this.

For the most common questions and problems, check out Part 4.

Beyond choosing the right orchid for your environment, you must pay attention to the time of the year to know what your orchid needs. In the following sections, I give you a rundown of the year, month by month. Note: You can’t be too exact with the timing of this care schedule because the United States is a vast country with climates from the cold north to semitropics. Also, these guidelines are for the Northern Hemisphere. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, take that into consideration. For example, January in the Northern Hemisphere corresponds to July in the Southern Hemisphere and so on.
