Our orchids are grown through the delicate early (3-4 year) stages into vigorous, healthy “liners” (plants in 3 1/3 inch pots). By following our cultural guidelines, the liners are capable of producing attractive plants with vibrant colored flowers within 12 to 24 months.

Most of our hybrid clones used in propagation were selected from the thousands of seedling crosses made by Sequoia Orchids over the past 26 years. The germination of seeds and the tissue cultural of our plants takes place in our own laboratory. The Odontoglossum, Oncidium, and Miltoniopsis plants are hybridized by well known, successful orchid hybridizers. Our controlled laboratory produces wholesale orchid hybrids that will delight your retail customers.

From time to time we offer smaller numbers of Coelogyne, Zygopetalums and intergeneric (see footnote below) Oncidium and Odontoglossum crosses at wholesale prices. We will continue to search for other interesting and attractive species to offer our customers.

We also have a section of offerings for the smaller growers and plant nurseries available as specials. (see Our Specials) These special Sequoia Orchids are also offered wholesale to the trade.

The Birth of Sequoia Orchids

[Footnote:  Intergeneric orchids are species crossed between species of the same genus. They are hybrids or a new orchid formed from the reproductions between orchid types. This can happen naturally but man can speed the process by becoming a pollinator. The first person to cross pollinate orchids was John Dominy, an Englishman. In 1856 he produced the first hybrid and today there are more than 50,000 unique hybrids.]
