Orchids 101 – Presented by Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia

Class Description

Did you know there are more than 28,000 species of orchid and that they are present in every biome on earth except for glaciers? Orchids inspire awe and admiration for their beauty and stately elegance. They can also be intimidating for new growers. Yet many orchids are very low-maintenance, high-impact plants for spaces where many other common houseplants can’t survive.

Join Extension Master Gardener Benton Murphy as he shares tips and tricks on helping your orchids thrive both indoors and outdoors! During the session you will learn about what makes orchids unique, tips on managing pests and disease, and an overview of commonly encountered species (including Virginia natives!) and how to correctly care for them.
