Ray as a Speaker

As the originator and developer of the Semi-Hydroponic culture technique for orchid growing, and with over 15 years experience with it - over 35 growing orchids - Ray has received many requests to speak with orchid societies about Semi-Hydroponics.

That presentation encompasses the following:

	Hydroponic orchids
	Background about the functioning of roots
	Basics about Semi-Hydroponic culture
	Comparison to traditional concepts of hydroponics
	S/H Components
	"How to" Instructions
	Advantages of S/H
	Repotting, both into S/H for the first time and moving plants on
	Objections to S/H
	...and an array of photographs of orchids grown that way Questions are always welcomed!

Fees: Instead of dealing with specifics of honoraria, travel expenses, hotels and meals, for places within a reasonable driving distance, we ask a flat $250 plus the opportunity to sell S/H-related goods. For others, please contact Ray to discuss details.

If you are interested in having Ray visit one of your meetings, please send an email.
