Plantae is a specialist nursery dedicated to the growing of orchids and rare & unusual plants. We offer a wide variety of species and hybrid orchids with an emphasis on angraecoids, cattleyas, dendrobiums, oncidiinae phalaenopsis and vandas. Plants can be purchased either at the nursery, at the various shows we attend countrywide or via mail order.

Our inventory features exotic plants such as tillandsias and other bromeliads, carnivorous plants, ornamental gingers as well as some rare trees and shrubs.

Our services include cut flowers and floral designs for special occasions and we are able to present informative lectures and workshops. An informative monthly newsletter is circulated via e-mail with topical information on orchid growing and notices of shows and open days taking place in that month. You can subscribe to our newsletter by clicking on the tab and providing us with your e-mail address.

The nursery is open by appointment as well as on the special open days. It would be a shame for you to drive out to the nursery and find we are away on a delivery or attending a show. Please phone before you visit if it is not one of the open days listed on the website.

Come and enjoy the peace and quiet of the bushveld on one of our open days. You would be able to view a wide range of plants, our growing facilities and a variety of exotic cage birds. The garden keeps on expanding and here you would be able to see orchids and other epiphytes growing and flowering in the trees combined with a range of indigenous and exotic plants along the pathways.

Wonderful scenery, a wide range of indigenous birds and trees will add to the magic of the visit!
