About us

"Botanische Orchideeen" started growing orchids for commercial purposes in 1979. The first years we mainly imported plants from tropical regions. For the last ten years however, we grow our plants from seeds to the flowering stage.
	A lot of our plants grow on cork slabs. This way the plants grow in their natural manner. Also we grow on slabs of Epi-Web an at the same time, it makes it easy to export the plants. The plants don't have to be unpotted and the roots don't suffer. This is clearly and advantage over shipping plants with bare roots.
Besides growing young plants, we also let some plants grow to exhibition size. Being a small nursery, and therefore due to space limitations, we can only do this to a few plants.
	Privately, we have a collection of draculas, of which some are for sale. For some types you might have to wait though until we put those up for sale. We also have a group of pleurothallioide. To learn more about these plants we have made several trips to South America; this gave us a good feel for how these plants like to grow. Dr. C. A. Luer has described a dracula, a masdavallia and a lepanthes in honour of us. (see info)
Visits: You can only visit us by appointment. Appointments can be made by sending us an e-mail. The pictures will give you an impression about the way we grow our plants in the greenhouse.
