    Hello everyone. I have been growing orchids at home for about a year. Where I live the types of orchids to buy are very limited. I am interested in buying orchids in other countries. Which reliable breeders should you buy from? where? Thanks

    Check your government’s laws on the subject.

    Here in the US, for example, the importer needs a permit to do so, copies of which must be sent to the exporter for inclusion with the shipment, and the exporter must provide a phytosanitary certificate as well as the appropriate CITES documentation, issued by his government.

    Here , in Israel, it is a bit more complicated. The import license will
    be approved only for certain orchid types & only from European suppliers . Must be shipped bareroot without mounts/pots)
    Usually quarantined for inspections.
