An Orchid Buyer's Guide for Beginners

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I forgot…

Do not automatically assume that the sellers have the orchids you buy growing in the correct potting media.

Sometimes they:

1) Don't know any better.

2) Only flip plants to make a quick profit.

3) Don't have the same kinds of resources, nor the time.

4) Don't have the same growing conditions as you.

This piece of advice is often one of the most difficult ones to believe, but it is true.
