YOU ALWAYS HAVE ROOM FOR AN ORCHID
If you’re short of growing space and still want to try growing an orchid, don’t fret. Plenty of dwarf and miniature varieties can easily fit any growing area (see the following figure of an Ascocentrum garayi, which takes up very little space). Some are so small you need a magnifying glass to view their flowers! Part 3 discusses some specific ones that are particularly suited to small spaces.
Isolating Your New Orchid after You Bring It Home
Adding new orchids to your plant collection is exciting, but this is also a time for caution. Even though you may have been careful in the selection process, your orchid still may be harboring insect eggs that may hatch, or it may have a disease problem that you didn’t notice before.
So, to be on the safe side, keep your new plant isolated from all your other plants for at least two to three weeks — enough time to see if any insects appear or a disease shows up. If you need to treat your new plant, doing so will be easier when it’s separated from your other plants.
To identify pests and their safest treatment, see Chapter 9.
