This week Plant Lovers the second of our very special visits to Marianna Hawkins of White Hill Orchids who's taken over the family orchid nursery which is one of the few places in Melbourne where you can go and buy flowering sized plants AND talk to the grower! The nursery is about an hour south east of Melbourne and has many types of orchids for sale - not just Zygopetalums! In this weeks video though, we're going to be learning all things Zygopetalum care from Marianna...and there are more videos to come so stay tuned! Marianna will share all her tips on care and growing conditions, propagation and why your orchid might not want to flower.
