Program

Natt’s Orchids

Growing Vanda Orchids at Home

 

 

 

Meeting:

·     Bring plants for show and tell

·     NO auction

 

Meeting:

They specialize in Vanda Orchids.  They will talk about Vandaceous orchids in general - especially those from Thailand; as well as how to grow them in house and in the greenhouse.

 

Originally, they came from Thailand about 30 years ago. Back in Thailand they grew orchids, mostly Vandas, Ascocendas and Dendrobiums as a hobby. They started growing orchids commercially about 14 years ago. They have vandas that will bloom several times a year in your home!  They will have various hard to find good quality orchids for sale.  Orchid supplies available also.
