Help your orchids thrive with our Care Guides

Over the past year, the Orchid Society of Great Britain has developed a growing collection of orchid care guides to help you get the best from your plants. From familiar favourites such as Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium to the intriguing flowers of Bulbophyllum and Maxillaria, the guides reflect the extraordinary variety of the orchid family. Whether you are caring for your first orchid or exploring something different, there is plenty to discover, including Cattleya, Coelogyne, Masdevallia, Miltoniopsis, Oncidium, Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium, Restrepia, Anguloa and Vanda.

Understanding the conditions that suit your orchid is an important step towards healthy growth and repeat flowering. Our guides offer a useful starting point, while recognising that individual species, hybrids and growing environments can have different requirements. They are freely available on our website, making it easy to check advice for an existing plant or explore a genus you might like to try. Visit our Orchid Care Guides and discover how the OSGB can help you grow with confidence.
