Afri Orchids is a family owned nursery, based in Nelspruit, South Africa.  We started our collection about forty years ago and like most orchids enthusiasts, we want to grow anything from anywhere.  As a result, we have gathered a huge variety of species from across the globe. 

Christo Grobler started the collection in the early 1970's and Lourens became passionate about the hobby from a very young age.  His enthusiasm worked magic to get his wife, Jolisa also involved.  Together we have grown, photographed and judged many orchids. 

We have started a seedling project a little over ten years ago and now have many plants available.  Most of the plants on our website were grown from seed.  We sell these only once they are mature enough, mostly flowering size or bigger.  However, very few plants are sold in flower.  

We are a specialist orchid nursery that focuses mainly on species from around the world, but have expanded our seedling project to include many hybrids.

We do not keep bulk stock and can unfortunately not help with large orders for weddings or functions.
