A channel based on a variety of plants, focusing mainly on orchids and the educational care for them. I want to bring my world of botanicals into your screen. I have a passion for nature and the resources to share it.
Cultural information should only be used as a guide, and should be adapted to suit you. Your physical location; where you grow your plants, how much time you have to devote to their care, and many other factors, will need to be taken into account. Only then can you decide on the cultural methods that best suit you and your plants.

Just in time for the holidays! Legendary R.F. Orchids holds their semi-annual 20% off sale.
Come along with me and my cohost Teresita on a special day at legendary orchid pioneers, R.F. orchids located in the heart of the agricultural district of Miami, Florida also. Known as Redland (Agricultural District). R.F. Orchids opened its doors in the fall of 1970 on a portion of Fred and Louise Fuchs’ 1921 homestead property.
Fred, Sr. and Louise ran their nursery together until Fred, Sr.’s death in 1969. Because of Fred’s ill health in the last few years of his life, the nursery suffered some decline during that time. In 1970 grandson Robert Fuchs graduated from Florida State University, and after graduation returned to Homestead and began a massive cleanup and renovation of the nursery. He brought in plants from his own collection, which had been housed at another site, and R.F. Orchids opened for business in December of that year.
At that time, Bob’s official profession was teaching at Homestead Junior High, and the nursery was open only on weekends and afternoons after school. Juggling both commitments was quite an effort.
1984 brought the attention of orchid growers around the world to Miami, for the 11th World Orchid Conference and its prestigious orchid show. Much of that attention focused on R.F. Orchids when their plants won 12 individual medals and their exhibit won a Best In Class trophy. And most important of all, R.F. Orchids’ plant Vanda Deva ‘Robert’ was honored as the Grand Champion of the11WOC. This award catapulted them into international recognition and acceptance as one of the leading vandaceous orchid firms in the world. Today Bob Fuchs together with husband and VP of RF Orchids, Micheal Coronado continue the RF legacy showcasing a massive tropical garden that serves as their branded center offering wonderful tours, events rentals, and yearly events that gives us orchid collectors exciting fairs and orchid shows year round.
I hope you enjoy this small but fun tour around their historic greenhouses filled with thousands of award winning beauties.

Hi Nelson, min 22:14 those RF keep hanged up and do not water until they bloom are not bulbophyllum, but DENDROBIUMS AGGREGATUM Beautiful nursery visit, thank you for sharing!
I think the common moth orchids are way underestimated: they have long blooming, the variety shows the amazing breeding programs. I value them as I value my rarest orchids in my collection. Each has their own beauty and attraction. 😊
Who cares about the orchids? L O L I am joking, of course, but listening and watching you and Teresa it’s so funny , happy holidays keep it green💖🎅🏻🩷

Hi, love your vids, especially the ones with Tere-you guys have great energy together! Just a small suggestion: maybe consider trimming down the intro a bit. Happy growing!
The intro has been branded for 4 years. It’s 30 seconds. Just double tap on your phone or iPad. Or simply scroll to beginning. You don’t need to watch the intro. I get so many compliments on my intro on my threads and when I’m out in public. I even have children dancing to my intro on videos that parents send me.
Thank you, Happy growing.
Merry Christmas !!!! ❤😊
Merry Christmas to you too!🫶🏼
Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks Yudier. Have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. See you at the next show!🎉
@naturenel likewise Nelson. See you and Ms. Teresita at the next show. Enjoy the Holidays my friend.
I would love to be there and have the pleasure of meeting you.

Feliz Navidad Nelson!💚
RF is amazing you showed us so many beauties so hard not to leave with one or two.Lol
It’s hard to have discipline at these orchid places. I’ve learned through the years to restrain. 😩
You need to do these in two parts I felt rushed. I will probably watch 2-3 more times 😊
I understand! Mercedes's garden is a whole world, we did our best to capture everything!
17:07 was looking for their Etsy and it seems there’s no shipping outside US. I maybe need to wait couple more years 😊
Oh I forgot to mention in one video: Hoya linearis is not that difficult to take care. I gave mine the care which I give to my complex Phalaenopsises: bright indirect light, cooling to initiate the blooms and keep it moist. I killed mine by changing it to wrong media.
I can understand pathopedilium fanatics
Me too! I love Paphs. 💚
I would love to come.

4:36 The spicerianum is a moderately cool growing orchid. 20:22 Probably the only place where someone will find a psychopsis magnet. 🦋 35:16 Maybe it's an Epidendrum stamfordianum? (Used Google Lens)
