Orchids: Good Growing & What it Takes! with instructor Tony MilletClass Description: In this class we will review orchid basics and understand the elements of growing an orchid to include light, water, seasons, nutrition, consistency, and how they all tie into Good Orchid Growing.
Tony Millet's career was started by his mom at a very young age, growing everything from seed. Growing up in Brooklyn NYC, Tony started growing orchids with cool, intermediate and warm types. Having the experience of growing in underground cold frames to an above greenhouse set the tone for his new semi-retirement growing style. Presently, Tony is growing under plastic covered lathe houses South Florida style (open on all sides) to include a small greenhouse for early seedlings. The early childhood experience of growing from seed set the tone for his orchid hybridizing program. Tony breeds and grows unusual hybrids in the large cattleya alliance. He also performs all flasking activities, as well as lectures and teaches. Tony is an AOS Accredited Judge. Many of his hybrids have been AOS awarded. His present growing goal is to impart warm tolerance to some of the cooler growing colorful hadro laelias species now classified as cattley.
