Even the most common orchid requires specific land constant, light, temp, humidy and Ph. Many also bloom infrquently or die after blooming. Calla and Cymbidium, while not quite as picky, have similar issues. The blooms themselves are not a resliant as tulips either and require special handling.<br><b>References : </b><br> Orchids are very expensive to propogate and raise especially in volume.

The blooms themselves are not a resliant as tulips either and require special handling.

I've had really good luck with them and I really don't do much for them except make sure that they have enough sunlight. I've got some bright yellow ones in bloom now and next are dark red ones and golden brown ones. I try to add one new one every year. They cost about $40 here.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you live in a temperate area you should consider growing your own Cymbidiums.
