Get started!Growing orchids is easier than you think! These regal plants are one of the most rewarding and easy to grow houseplants. Also, most of them bloom during winter or early spring, just when all of us are eager to see some warm, tropical colors. Two of the easiest types to grow are Oncidiums and the Dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrids.
One of the more appealing features of orchids is that given reasonable care, they will continue to grow bigger and better every year. As they develop more divisions, they will produce blossom spikes. A fully developed, 10 year old orchid is a spectacular sight to see. Even before it reaches this size, it can be divided and shared with friends.

The final feat of these extraordinary plants is that they bloom for 2 to 3 months, once or twice a year.
