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 - 40 growing orchids - Ray has received many requests to speak with orchid societies about Semi-Hydroponics.

That presentation encompasses the following:
  • 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, or when we can schedule several engagements together, we ask a flat $300 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.
