Sometimes the local nursery doesn’t have the options or availability of the orchids that are on our wish list. The next step is to search online for that special orchid.
Buying orchids online can be a risky business. It’s hard to know what to look for, what to overlook, and when to forcefully say, “No!” and demand your money back.
In this video, you’ll learn the guidelines to good orchid buying online. I do want to give a shout out to Akatsuka Orchid Gardens ( https://www.facebook.com/akatsukaorchid )
I filmed the unboxing process with an order that I had made with them, which was 5 oncidiums. I ordered them and in 3 days, they were delivered, which is awesome because they are in Hawaii and I'm in Kansas. Not even with companies in the continental US has a box been delivered to me that fast. The emailed me upgrading my delivery without extra cost to me, nor me asking to do so, which was amazing.
Also, I found the original price to be very cheap (for orchids) and thought I was getting tiny plants. To my surprise, they all came in bud and one was in bloom. For that price, I was shocked and extremely pleased. I am not sponsored by them (or anybody else), but I was extremely pleased with my purchase. I totally recommend them.
If you know companies online and want to recommend them, that's awesome. Please do so because it helps us all out. Just don't add links because my anti-spam will delete it before I even see it. The name of the company is the best.

This YouTube Channel is the by-product of extensive research on how to recreate that environment inside my home.
By no means do I consider myself an expert but I'm an avid learner and willing to share the little I know with others. There are thousands of different ways to care for orchids, and the more we share, the more we learn.
What started out as a hobby has now grown into a passion, producing an online resource of quality information on how to connect with nature.
