Abstract

An orchid growing and holding apparatus that is configured to releasably secure an orchid thereto and further is configured to be mounted to a vertical support surface. A base member that is planar in manner and rectangular in shape is provided. The base member has a mounting aperture proximate the upper end thereof. The base member includes a first securing aperture and a second securing aperture axially aligned horizontally journaled through the base member proximate the lower end thereof. A securing member is provided and operable to be passed through the first securing aperture and second securing aperture and bias an orchid against the front surface of the base member. A plant support member is provided on the front surface and has a radius curved body that extends outward from the front surface. A hook member is provided to suspend the present invention from a vertical support surface.
