Lab-propagated.
Never Wild-collected.
Did you know that many native orchids offered for sale online have been dug from the wild or even poached? This is especially true of those found at "bargain" prices on popular auction websites. Unfortunately, most orchid species resent disturbance and are doomed to a quick decline once transplanted to the home garden.
SPECIAL VEGETATION offers a high-quality, sustainable alternative. We employ micropropagation techniques to produce our plants. This is a time-intensive and complex process, but it yields plants with exceptional vigor and excellent genetic diversity.
