If you are searching for the perfect place to buy your orchids and houseplants search no further. Not only do they have the most beautiful orchids at great prices but they are so creative in their design amd so helpful and hospitable from the moment you walk in the door. No job is too big or too small for them. They will make you look good with their outstanding work.

They have much more than orchids here! They have many many houseplants and even some succulents and outdoor plants plus a variety of pots. Staff is very friendly and helpful 🙂

One of the most beautiful and healthy orchids and plants on the market. Exceptional service with one of a kind plants and a spectacular entryway view with rows upon rows of lilies, orchids, and some exotic ones! I got the Thai constellation monstera, oncidium, dendrobium and phaleonopsis for my girlfriend(avid flower and gardener) and she was blown away at the plant root structure and sphagnum moss of highest quality from new Zealand! The others had bark chips and excellent health!

Called for different varieties of flowers I have already; he took my information and told me he’d talk to a vendor. Texted me the next day to let me know they had some in stock; went and he was awesome with the pricing on the plants I got for my collection. Didn’t even charge me the full agreed price! Amazing customer service and beautiful location that’s a relaxing maze to roam.

I discovered this gem in my neighborhood while going on a walk with a walking group once. I used to go to Home Depot but this is much closer! It's much bigger inside than it looks from outside. There's no customer parking ,except for a couple of spots in the back, but you have to be sure you don't block an employee's car. You can check with them inside first.. Otherwise there's plenty of street parking, since it's in a residential area. 2 hour limit I think, no permit required.

I've gotten a total of 8 plants here (not all at once) since last spring and only 3 of them are still surviving. And I've spent over $100 so far at that place. 🙁 Out of those 3, 1 is looking iffy. It turned out to be root bound. Okay, I don't have a green thumb, but not a brown thumb exactly either! I've bought plants at many places before, sometimes they do okay and other times not. That doesn't mean I did anything wrong, or that they did either. There could be things going on beneath the surface of the plant that's not visible to you or them. So it wasn't as healthy as it looked!

But with all those plants, how can you be sure THEY didn't overwater or underwater some of the plants? I'm not sure if they have the time to give each plant the right care.

Some plants are not labeled (with the name of the plant NOR price), either on the container or with a sign nearby. So you have to ask. There's a great selection though, and they are kept in areas where they do best. So, if in a sunny place, you'd want to put them in a sunny place. If near the pond, then they need humidity so try the bathroom. Try to duplicate the environment as much as possible ,but I've had 2 plants die on me almost right away, in spite of my efforts.

Another died after about 3 months, with the stems suddenly turning brown, and the stems drooping then falling off. I couldn't tell if it was over or underwatered or what it needed. And it was a plant I've had success with in the past, a low maintenance plant but not this time. It was tall and beautiful, $35 down the drain.

They don't carry much of a selection of extras like plant food. You'd find more at a Target or grocery store.

Someone said something about worms and pests, and last night I had nightmares about worms in the plants, lol! But thankfully I haven't seen any pests.

Friendly, personal service. They will wrap up or box up your plants, for easy carrying and even carry them to your car for you.

I'm giving 3 stars because they don't give refunds or exchanges, so you could waste a lot of money. 🙁 But I know they are a small business and not a Home Depot (which gives a refund or exchange within one year with a receipt). So from now on, I'm getting only small plants, in a 4" or 6" diameter pot at the most.

They give loyalty or rewards cards, where after 10 purchases you get a free plant. Specific sizes/varieties only. But it doesn't expire! 🙂

I loved my visit to The Orchid Fever! I am actually planning on going back this week! I took my time to look around only in the market for smaller plants and they had everything I needed. The workers were nice and held plants for me to free up my hands while I kept shopping. The terracotta pots there are some of the cheapest I have seen making it my go-to place to buy pots, they also have so many other types of pots you wouldn't find anywhere else! I love all the options beyond orchids, and they even have tiny plants too which is nice for window sills, or small apartments!

Got these two and one month later they are still very healthy. The monstera is well supported by a little stick settled before I got it. It is so beautifully growing. Highly recommend if you want a good plant.
