This journal-like diary teaches you how to care for orchids and start your collection. With so many online guides for orchid care, it's hard to know what works in your environment. That is why you have to test and experiment with the methods that are suitable for your orchids. Once you find a method that works, you write it down on a notecard, a loose piece of paper, or in a notebook...and it eventually gets lost. How do you remember all that over the years? With this orchid journal, you can keep all your notes and progress. (How many months ago did you fertilize anyway?) With this tracker, you'll better visualize what works and what doesn't, eliminating the methods that didn't work for you. This journal helps you start your collection with information about 5 beginner orchids: Phalaenopsis, - Dendrobium, - Cattleya, - Cymbidium, and - Miltoniopsis and track the progress of each. With space to track 25 orchids (and 3 bonus ones), you can keep a detailed journal of what is important for you. This orchid notebook is endorsed by Orchideria.com, an informational website that you can find at www.orchideria.com . Orchid care is an art as it is a science. Everyone's environment is different; orchid care changes depending on where you live. You learn (mostly by trial and error) what is the best method or technique to fertilize, but come next year, it slips away. By writing down the information you learn, you'll improve your orchid care. This journal allows you to do less testing and get more results with what has proven to be true in YOUR environment. The most important words in this journal are yours. Plenty of Space for your Notes: Made with extra quality-paper that doesn't bleed through the other side, this notebook is made specifically for writing. The Perfect Size (5.5 x 8.5): Big enough to fit in all your notes, yet small enough to carry in your purse or handbag, this journal is the perfect companion to take with you to orchid shows, expositions, and nurseries. 6 Pages of Specific Notes for Each Plant: Fertilizing Schedule, Watering Cycle, Hours of Sun, Awards, Type of Potting Medium, Bud Duration... Calendar-Free: Just because the New Year has come and gone, you don't need to fall behind calendar-wise. This journal starts today--independent of what day it is. Quick Care Reference for Each Orchid: Forgot what humidity Cattleyas like? Turn to pages 35-47 because it's all there. With general guides for the 5 types of orchids, you have a hands-on reference to use all the time. General Guides: Besides the specific guides for each, other general categories that revolve around orchid care are explained: Humidity, Lighting, Fertilizer, and Potting Medium. Orchid Journey is a 361-page personal tracker and planner made for you to deepen your knowledge in orchid care as you experiment with different methods and techniques. Call it what you'd like-- journal, diary, notebook, observation tracker--but this planner will take your orchid care to the next level.
