Über diesen Titel

Welcome to Orchid Talk, the podcast for anyone who’s ever fallen in love with a bloom — whether it was a $9.99 supermarket Phalaenopsis or the crown jewel of your 1,000‑plant jungle. If orchids spark your curiosity, fuel your obsession, or completely take over your home… you’re in the right place.


Hosted by Mandy, a passionate grower with a soft spot for the strange, the rare, and the wonderfully weird, Orchid Talk brings the entire orchid universe to your ears.


Each episode features a special guest grower — from hobbyists to world‑class collectors — as we dig into culture techniques, share hard‑earned tips and tricks, and take deep dives into the quirks and charms of different orchid genera.


And because every grower has questions (yes, even the pros), we wrap up with a listener Q&A, tackling everything from root rot mysteries to light‑level dilemmas. Send in your questions and we’ll get them answered on the show.


Fun, nerdy, and full of plant‑powered joy — Orchid Talk is your new weekly dose of orchid inspiration. Tune in and grow with us 🌿

    Welcome to Orchid Talk, the podcast for anyone who’s ever said, “I’ll just buy ONE orchid”… and then somehow ended up with a jungle. In this trailer, Mandy gives you a sneak peek into the wonderfully chaotic world of orchid growing — from supermarket Phals to rare species that cost more than your rent. Expect laughs, plant confessions, wild orchid facts, and a whole lot of blooming enthusiasm. If you’re ready to learn, laugh, and maybe accidentally start a massive collection, hit play and let the orchid madness begin! 🌿
