Orchideria is all about nature and learning.

Hi! I'm Amanda Matthews, the person behind Orchideria.

I've made it my goal at Orchideria to provide solid research in orchid care. My objective is to provide a useful resource of free information about orchids and terrariums which could also promote peace. Working with nature cures the soul.

This educational website is an online guide full of in-depth tutorials, articles, and explanations that teach you how to care for your orchids. My mission at Orchideria is to connect you with nature so you can find harmony and serenity.

Once your orchid is healthy, learn how to craft it into an exotic floral design or create a unique terrarium.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

AMANDA JUNE MATTHEWS

"Having the privilege to live overseas in a tropical habitat for most of my life, I naturally became an orchid enthusiast.

Once back home in the USA, I spent my free time recreating a cozy place for my orchids. I had to relearn everything I once knew about orchid care, since now I was facing harsh winters in Kansas and incredibly hot summers.

This website was the by-product of extensive research on how to recreate that environment inside my home.

By no means do I consider myself an expert but I'm an avid learner and willing to share the little I know with others. There are thousands of different ways to care for orchids, and the more we share, the more we learn.

What started out as a hobby has now grown into a passion, producing an online resource of quality information on how to connect with nature.
