Happy Earth Day! Today's episode is about orchids and their conservation. We're going to focus on some things that we can do as orchid growers to help protect orchids.

We know climate change is having a huge effect on the ecosystem and orchids are like the canaries in the coalmine. The changes they face and their diminishing populations are caused not only by natural events but also human expansion. Instead of relying solely on governments, scientific organizations, and botanical institutions to help preserve and conserve orchid species...we need to do our part to help.

I've included some tips on what I know and if you have other ideas, please feel free to share them in the comments.
