About this Event
Community Garden Education Classes on basic orchid care introduce participants to the unique needs of these elegant and often misunderstood plants. The class begins by demystifying common orchid varieties, such as Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium, and explaining how their natural habitats influence their care requirements. Learners discover how to choose the right potting medium, typically bark or sphagnum moss, which allows for proper airflow around the roots. Instructors emphasize the importance of indirect light, consistent but moderate watering, and good drainage to prevent root rot. The session also covers how to recognize signs of stress, such as yellowing leaves or shriveled roots, and how to address these issues before they worsen. Participants gain confidence in techniques like repotting, fertilizing with balanced orchid nutrients, and encouraging reblooming after the flowering cycle. By the end of the class, gardeners understand that with the right knowledge and routine care, orchids can thrive and bloom beautifully, adding color and serenity to both home and community garden spaces.
