Intro to Phalaenopsis Orchid Care
Phalaenopsis Orchids have become a popular plant to give but recipients often feel inept in their abilities to care for them. This workshop aims to demystify Phalaenopsis culture and give orchid keepers the tools they need to keep them flourishing for years to come.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will receive a Phalaenopsis orchid to re-pot and bring home. Information will be provided caring for your orchid once you bring it home. For registration and more information visit Lasdonpublicgardens.org
