| book description |

Orchids are widely regarded as the most advanced species of flowering plants, and are renowned for their striking appearance and diverse range of characteristics. These plants are capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments, although they can be challenging to cultivate successfully. In terms of floriculture, orchids play a significant role in the Indian economy and contribute significantly to exports. Given the vast area and diverse agro-climatic conditions that exist across our country, ranging from tropical to temperate regions, it is possible to cultivate a wide variety of orchids. In light of this, there is a strong demand for a simple and accessible guide to the latest advances in orchid cultivation and management, particularly among students of Horticulture and Forestry, as well as florists in India. This book has been developed primarily to fulfill this need, and is the result of many years of teaching, research, and practical experience. It provides detailed information on various aspects of orchid cultivation, including their morphology, propagation methods, cultivation techniques, breeding, post-harvest management, diseases, and insect pest management.
