The aim of the American Orchid Society (AOS) is to "extend the knowledge, production, use, perpetuation and appreciation of orchids of any kind and in any manner." With that in mind, the American Orchid Society website has a link devoted to a large amount of complimentary "Orchid Information", as well as a few sections that are limited to members only. Visitors just beginning to become interested in orchids will find "Orchid Basics" extremely helpful, with its Q&A format, as well as the opportunity to subscribe to their free beginners newsletter and access to the newsletter's archive. Back on the homepage, the "Video Library" of more than a dozen professional videos is a very helpful and reassuring tool for helping spot and remedy orchid issues, such as "Root Loss," "Recognizing Mite Damage," and "When To Repot." The "Monthly Checklist" link explains how to care for different types of orchids throughout the year, and is very handy for those who might have a lot on their mind, or have a lot of orchids in their care.
