Growing Miniature Orchids by Luis Manuel Ortiz Jordan

Luis has been growing orchids for more than 20 years, having started at just 12 years old. His orchid journey began when his grandfather gifted him his first orchid, Cattleya dowiana. When that plant bloomed, he caught the virus —and the passion has never faded.

Come hear Luis share his orchid-growing story and learn valuable tips and techniques for successfully growing miniature orchids.
