  • Growing orchids naturally without any chemical inducers

Climate control systems

  • High-tech climate control systems are used to minimize energy consumption

  • We work collaboratively with distributors and other growers to ensure efficient transportation and that our customer demands are met

On-site water management

Re-use of irrigation water and fertilizers
