Topic: Orchid Physiology: Why Orchids Do What They Do.
For our meeting this month, Christopher Satch, President of Manhattan Orchid Society will be presenting to our society on Orchid Physiology: Why Orchids Do What They Do. "Christopher Satch is the Founder and CEO of NYC Plant Help as well as a Professor of Botany at The New York Botanical Gardens. He has grown plants in all environments - from his early years on the family farm in NJ, to the suburbs and research greenhouses of Rutgers University to indoors in his NYC apartment. He is an expert at growing plants in the unlikeliest of environments, using his specialty knowledge of plant physiology to find the easiest way to keep plants blooming and healthy. He has extensive knowledge on how to make plants do what you want them to do, and has built orchid terrariums with lights with minimal effort to take care of some of the most sensitive orchids." Chris will be presenting in person and will be bringing some plants for sale. All are welcome and feel free to bring any friends who might be interested in orchids.
