Who hasn’t at one time or another bought or have been given an orchid in bloom, and once it has finished blooming wondered how to keep it alive and to rebloom? We will discuss and show the basics for orchid culture in the desert environment of Tucson. One can grow orchids in one’s home or a greenhouse, but regardless there are certain requirements for orchids to flourish in Tucson. We will show how to repot an orchid, potting materials, light, water and humidity requirements, and fertilizers necessary for your orchids to rebloom. There will be ample time for questions you might have.

If you have an orchid that needs help, please bring it to the class and get advice from two seasoned Tucson orchid growers.
