orchid vendors

Question:

I just start the hobby. Any reasonable price orchid vendors please. Also what kind of light do I need to grow orchids indoor. Thanks

Response:

Hi, tpham, The best place to start is Oakhill Gardens http://www.oakhillgardens.com  or an orchid show.  For orchid culture, see the American Orchid Society for culture sheets http://www.theaos.org.  Also visit your local Home Depot store.  This should get you started. . . .

Join a local society, if you have one nearby. They are a good source of plants and advice. — Gideon Singer In Beautiful Vancouver BC Web site: members.shaw.ca/gsinger

Suggest you pick up Ortho’s "All About Orchids".  It’s an inexpensive book that speaks in plain language.  The general questions you ask are too broad, as there are many different types of orchids with different requirements. If you tell us what you have and where you grow, we can be of more help. Diana

Welcome to the hobby, tpham. Joining a local orchid society is the best way to go.  Not so much for the inexpensive plants, but for the culture information and fellowship. The only two online vendors I’ve brought from are www.firstrays.com and www.jborchids.com. Both are run by knowledgeable people and I’ve always been satisfied by their plant quality and service.
