#37 JULIANNE ROBERTSON - ORCHIDS a no fuss guide
<p>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. </p> <p>Julianne explains what orchids really need to thrive indoors: the right light, temperature, feeding, and watering – without the myths, gimmicks or ice cubes.
