Christopher Satch is a Professor at the New York Botanical Gardens, as well as the CEO and Founder of NYC Plant Help, a horticultural consultancy for indoor and outdoor growers in the greater New York area. Having been featured on NPR, the Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, and more, Christopher breaks down the science behind growing plants and explains how plants grow in human-understandable terms. Having specialized in plant physiology and pathology, you can ask him any orchid growth, flowering, or culture question, and he will know the answer. He is a member of the AOS Education/Tech Committee, has participated in the rewrite of the care and culture sheets for AOS, and grows over 200 plants on windowsills, in terrariums, and more in his tiny Manhattan apartment. His favorite orchids are Cattleya species, Catasetiinae, Miltoniopsis, Lepanthes, and anything else that's either odd or fragrant.
