Newbie looking for Books!
Hi,
I'm a newbie but have somehow managed to collect a couple phals, a few oncidiums and a phragmipedium (i think). I've had these plants for 12-18 months -- keeping them in windowsill with northern exposure supplemented with 160 watt Wonderlite (moving to a place with southeastern exposure soon!). I've been able to keep everything alive, but blooms are few and far in between.
Hoping for a couple recommendations for good, comprehensive books for beginners. I have "Orchids Simplified" by Jaworski and "Ortho's All About Orchids". Neither are very good. Want to better understand lighting, fertilizer, watering and how to maximize frequency and number of blooms!
Thanks in advance!
