The Ramapo Orchid Society, Inc. is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to the love of growing orchids . We meet every month ( except July & August) at the
Flat Rock Brook Nature Center, Englewood, New Jersey.
At our meetings we feature guest speakers, hands-on workshops, and an opportunity to trade growing secrets with some very experienced members. We always have a show table, and affordably priced orchids from local vendors. Special events include our yearly show, a great auction, and a fun Xmas party. The society is open to anyone who shares our love of orchids, so why don't you come and join a terrific bunch of people.
We are an affiliated member of the American Orchid Society (AOS) and Northeast Judging Center.

Topic: Growing Paphs at Home And Under Lights

Speaker: Madhu Chintala

Aimed at hobbyists interested in Paphiopedilums, this presentation will cover potting and mediums, watering, fertilizing, repotting and summering outside under shade plus exhibiting orchids at home.

Madhu is a long itme member of Deep Cut Orchid Society and has been growing orchids for over 20 years. Like many of us, he started with grocery store Phals, then discovered a talent with Paphs.

Madhu grows on light carts, windowsills, a small orchidarium and takes many of his plants outside in late spring to early fall. In addition to Paphs and Phrags he also grows a variety of other genera.

Coffee and refreshments will be available for our social hour.
