Orchids and bonsai at Sky Nursery seminars this weekend

Two seminars this weekend at Sky focus on small, indoor plants which are thought to be exotic. These experts will take some of the mystery out of orchids and bonsai.

Saturday, January 13th 11:00am – 12:30pm

Orchids 201 Krysta Carlisle

So you have an orchid—now what? Local indoor gardening expert Krysta Carlisle will talk about how to keep your beauties happy and coax them into reblooming.

She’ll demonstrate repotting and mounting techniques and clarify orchids’ light, water, nutrient and humidity needs.

Krysta will conclude her seminar with a free orchid clinic, examining orchids you bring in to diagnose their problems and needs. Free; no registration required to attend.

Spaces in the orchid clinic may be limited; if a lot of orchids are brought in, Krysta may look only at a representative sample.

Basic Bonsai Care Robert Cho of Asia Pacific Gardens

Got a bonsai for the holidays, and you’re not sure about its care and feeding? Or perhaps you’ve been interested in these living treasures, and wanted to take advantage of Sky’s indoor bonsai sale….

With the correct care and training, a bonsai tree can last a lifetime, increasing in beauty and value every year. Join local bonsai guru Robert Cho for this informative seminar on maintaining your bonsai. 

Robert will focus particularly on pruning and repotting, but other aspects of bonsai care will be covered. This seminar is free and open to the public.
