  • RF Orchids is one of the oldest and most historical company in the Redlands Florida. Owner Robert Fuchs opened its doors more than 50 years ago. He comes from a family of generational botanist including himself. Many crosses they have in their establishment are created by them. I’ve seen and bought orchids in many other nurseries that are their own “Fuchs” cross. This place is not just a nursery, it’s a botanical park with many exotic plant and thousands of orchids around the entire place. Some have been established for many decades on the trees. It really is quite impressive to walk under a canopy of dozens and dozens of Cattleyas. This episode does mainly focus on the inside areas and orchids for sale. I will be doing another episode showing the surroundings and their private backyard and their own mini ecosystem with ponds, fish, more orchids, and their resident a locator. This place is truly a paradise. Enjoy this episode!

    Fun video editing with the dramatic music. That purple freckled Vanda at the 20:05 mark was perfection. That’s what I envision my first Vanda to be when I have a better set up and buy one.

      Most orchid nurseries that are high end will be expensive. They do spend allot to keep that place running. Plus you get to enjoy a day at a great little botanical park. I guess it’s the same as buying at a boutique store instead of big box stores.

    Bob Fuchs is my favorite orchid grower. His nursery, RF Orchids, is awesome. He was taking groups orchid hunting in jungles all over the world as far back as the 70's. Thanks for the nursery tours in the Mecca of orchids, Redlands area of south Dade County. Bob named a Vanda after my Mom in 1984. Beautiful gigantic flowers. Prize of my collection.

      They are truly amazing. I’m ready Robert’s book right now and his family goes way back in botany. They were introducing orchid in Homestead since the 1930’s. This are houses some of the most incredible orchid houses. That’s so awesome your mom has a Vanda named after her. 💚

      Hi Glovana. Recently I bought a Vanda from the Orchid Nursery - and so far, it has given me 2 keikis!! Still waiting for a spike though. My Phalaenopsis gave me a beautiful bloom spike (white), and it lasted from April till June. I have lots of Dendrobium keikis (2 types), and they just keep on giving!! My Vanda Miss Joaquim finally bloomed - 7 flowers. I was forced to create a mini "Orchid Corner" around my porch and alongside my bedroom window. Now I have room for more!! We must arrange a visit one of these days.

      Actually I believe they were manufactured in Thailand. There are many vendors and nurseries that sell hole pots for orchids. But the ones at RF according to Michael the owner, he told me he designed them together with another orchid collector and had them done overseas and shopped make to the states.

    That Bulbophylum phalaenopsis doesn't have mature leaves yet. They will get double the size. As for it's flowers, I would NOT recommend it! The stench of rotting meat is horrible and travels a very long distance, even outside. When the "perfume" starts spreading, it can travel for over 60 to 80 feet easily. Good luck enduring that over a longer time. Literally gave my huge plant away because I could not stand it anymore + the flies it attracted. Yikes!!!

      No! I would have kept it! That’s a collectors plant. I have a little over an acre of land. I would hang it in the opposite end of the house. Lol! I can’t imagine that smell in small space. It’s such a big orchid. I see how it can radiate its stench for a long distance.
