Learn More About Growing Orchids

We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at the Mt Albert Senior Citizens Hall.
We aim to try to learn more about growing orchids, view plants that others have grown, and generally have a good time talking about our favourite hobby - trying to grow orchids successfully.
This month our guest speaker, Peter, will be talking about the variety of water systems available, what they do, and how you can utilize them in your orchid house, comparing how a commercial operation is run, and how you can do something similar, just on a much smaller scale, at home.
Plants need water, and too much, or not enough, and they can suffer or die, so trying to ensure they are watered well, and you don’t waste water, will keep your plants in their best condition.
And, if you are away some of the time, an automated system could be just the thing you need, rather than relying on a forgetful neighbour.
Find out what is available, and how you can then utilize that in your growing area at this month’s meeting.
