Tom Kuligowski

Tom Kuligowski has long been known as the Angraecum man.  Specializing in numerous Angraecoids; documenting growth habits, blooming traits and most recently has started some minor hybridizing.  He has created the Angraecums blog (www.angraecums.blogspot.com) and an Angraecums Facebook Page to pass on growing trends and various culture techniques to help both the hobbyist and professional growers to grow and bloom these magnificent plants.

He has written numerous programs that are presented to the orchid societies throughout the country.  Programs dealing with “Unusual and Natural Mounts”, “What’s Light Got To Do With It”, “Creating Better Images of Your Personal Collection” and of course, “Angraecums”. 

His most recent presentation is “Buy It, Grow It, Bloom It”.  It deals with finding the plant you can’t live without, keeping it alive long enough to bloom a second time and getting it to become a spectacular specimen.  There is however a rather big issue here.  Can the plant even grow here?   Asking questions, doing research and learning from our mistakes all plays a major part in this.  The program deals with the growing variables and the parameters within the variables.  Can these parameters be stretched and/or manipulated enough to do what others may see as impossible.

The program is beneficial to both the beginner as well as the experienced grower.  It’s all about the flowers!
