The secret is finding the right orchid varieties and care requirements tailored for your environment. Contrary to popular belief, a wide range of orchids make beautiful and easy to care for houseplants. I personally grow hundreds of orchid varieties entirely in a home environment. When I first started collecting orchids in my teens, I was frequently frustrated by the lack of growing information fo
r people like me and found that much of the conventional wisdom on orchids based in greenhouse care just didn't work for my plants, my schedule, or my budget. Over time, I found what works for me in my environment. Now I want to help others do the same. I created Oakheart Orchids for my fellow home growers. I specialize in orchid varieties best suited for raising as houseplants and sharing growing tips and tricks to help these orchids thrive in our homes and workplaces. I'm passionate about tearing down the reputation of "finicky" orchids and the barriers that prevent so many plant lovers from embracing the extraordinary orchid family. Let's keep it simple, keep it fun, and grow together! And if you do have a greenhouse or elaborate growing set-up to raise orchids? Rock on, and know that you are welcome here, too. Countless orchid varieties and a wealth of information is already out there for you. But I bet I can still introduce you to more cultivars to add to your plant collection. As the largest flowering plant family in the world, native to every habitat on the planet except glaciers, with over 28,000 species, an estimated 100,000-200,000 hybrids, and still counting, there are orchid varieties for everyone. My family keeps telling me I'll never collect them all, but that's never stopped me from trying!
