What orchid should a novice gardener get so that he won’t regret it later: there is only one possible option
Choosing an orchid for a novice gardener is a responsible step that requires certain knowledge and experience.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh had the chance to see, an incorrectly chosen type of orchid can lead to disappointment and loss of interest in this beautiful plant.
Therefore, before getting an orchid, it is important to carefully study the features of its care and maintenance, because there are quite a lot of types of orchids for indoor keeping.
Among them, you can find real collectible rarities that have a “complex character” – only professionals or enthusiasts can cope with their cultivation.
If you are not trying to make growing this indoor flower your main occupation, it makes sense to take a closer look at more “docile” species.
Let's not beat around the bush: the best orchids for beginners are considered to be phalaenopsis, also known as the "butterfly orchid".
By the way, this is the exact option that you can find in the store, so you won’t have to search for long.
Phalaenopsis requires room temperature, it gets enough light, standing on the windowsill, and suitable soil is sold in any specialized store - no additional "body movements" are required from you.
