All plant lovers have succumbed at one time or another to the charm of orchids. It is impossible to resist their colours, the enigmatic shapes of their flowers and the immense variety of species. The problem is that for many it becomes a practically disposable or one-season plant, because they inevitably end up perishing, victims of some pest or disease. Hence the idea that it is a capricious plant or difficult to care for, when the truth is that with a little care you can keep it perfect for a long time.

Most of us know that it is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which the plant processes its own food, allowing it to store glucose and provide energy for all its cells; but few people recognise that there are 3 other processes that depend on light: phototropism, photoperiodism and photomophoresis.
