He has recently been more involved with the local orchid community, and has been on the board of the South Florida Orchid Society for the last 6 years.
Carlos shares his West Kendall Miami home with his wife Amanda and their son. They share their home with various adopted dogs, birds, and turtles.
With a small orchid collection of around 300 plants, Carlos favors any plant that produces a nice fragrance, or has unusual characteristics.
His growing philosophy can be distilled into two thoughts: (KISS) Keep It Simple Son. And,
Learn to look and listen to your plants. They will tell you, and show you what they like.
Carlos’ lecture will be “A brief explanation of the more popular orchid products and other choices available for South Florida orchid growing.”
