We sit down with Toine Overgaag of Westerlay Orchids, a major grower of Phalaenopsis on the West Coast of the US, to hear about their sustainability efforts, and the state of large-scale houseplant production more broadly. Are grocery store orchids considered “disposable?” Are there ways to tell if you're buying sustainably-produced plants? And what’s the best thing we can do once a plant comes home with us? Stay tuned for our tips (and our impassioned appeal) for plant lovers of all experience levels to give Phals another look!
