We are thrilled to host an orchid introduction and repotting workshop with The Orchid Society of Southern California. Guided by Kevin Chen and JiaHao Peng, this event will commence with a lecture covering fundamental orchid knowledge, as well as tips and care instructions for nurturing orchids. Following the lecture, there will be a hands-on repotting workshop where we will demonstrate various potting mixes and proper orchid repotting techniques.
