Plug Orchids - Just Plug'em In..

Here is an interesting trend that you may have seen.. small orchids grown in plug pots.   Here are some photos of plug orchids - they are called "plug orchids" because the size of the pot is a plug size making the plant a plug plant.  From this small pot (usually 1 1/2 inches, 3.81 cm) small orchid plants are then transplanted into three inch pots (all the while maintaining a tight growing space for the orchid) until they reach the mature size usually in a four inch orchid growing pot.  Many orchid plants start there life in a plug pot, then go to a three inch pot, then a four inch pot.. The growing process must be followed for the orchid to reach a mature size.  Woohoo!!  Enjoy!

Spring Has Sprung

The signs of Spring in the orchid greenhouse is a profusion of orchid flowers beckoning the orchid lover to take a closer look with whispers of take me home..  Whether moth orchids or butterfly orchids, Cymbidium orchids or Oncidium orchids, Spring orchid flowers touch everything in its path with ahhs and oohs.  Enjoy a selection of Spring blooming orchids eager to make you smile!
