Overview
Orchids occur naturally from very cold temperate climates through to tropical locations; and provided you choose appropriate species and treat them according to location, it is feasible to grow orchids as cut flowers almost anywhere.
Orchids are one of the most commercially viable cut flower crops (partially due to their beauty, and also due to their long shelf life). Learn all about them with this Cut Flower Orchids course from Warnborough College.
