#37 JULIANNE ROBERTSON - ORCHIDS a no fuss guide
from Pot and Cloche Garden Podcasts · host Joff Elphick
Orchids have a reputation for being fussy, fragile divas – but what if they're actually some of the toughest, most forgiving houseplants you can grow? In this episode Joff Elphick chats with writer and garden media specialist Julianne Robertson about her new book, ORCHIDS: a no fuss guide to keeping your houseplant happy. Julianne explains what orchids really need to thrive indoors: the right light, temperature, feeding, and watering – without the myths, gimmicks or ice cubes. From the ever-popular Phalaenopsis (moth orchid) to other Cambria, Cattleya, Cymbidium, and Dendrobium, Julianne shares practical tips, surprising orchid history, and reassuring advice for anyone who's killed an orchid (or three) before. Whether you're an anxious beginner or an orchid addict looking to learn more, this episode will help you keep these elegant plants blooming for years, not weeks.
