When you order an AIRY plant system from us, you don't just get a plant with a pot. You receive a piece of living plant love – carefully produced and selected, cared for, and shipped by true professionals. One of them: our partner company Orchideen-Zentrum Wichmann from Celle. Here, tradition meets know-how, quality meets passion – and that for over 125 years!
A traditional company with a green soul
Orchideen Wichmann is one of the most renowned nurseries in Germany – and rightly so: The family-run nursery has built an excellent reputation as a specialist in orchids since 1897. Numerous national and international awards prove what you immediately feel on site: Here, passion is in every plant.
In Celle, Wichmann operates not only a large nursery but also its own retail store and an online shop for orchid enthusiasts. Whether magnificent classics or rare rarities – anyone who wants to buy orchids will definitely find something here.
What Wichmann does for AIRY – and why it's so special
That our plants arrive with you so healthy, beautiful, and vital is no coincidence. Christian Wichmann, who now leads the company in its fourth generation, is not only an experienced horticultural engineer but also a true plant expert with an international network.
🌱 Purchasing with sensitivity
Christian Wichmann buys our plants directly from renowned greenhouse growers in Holland. Thanks to his language skills – he speaks fluent Dutch – and long-standing contacts, he knows exactly what matters in terms of quality, origin, and growth form. Only the best plants make it into the range.
🌱 Quality control & care
In the in-house nursery in Celle, the plants are not just temporarily stored. They get exactly what they need there: light, air, water – and of course professional care. Every plant is carefully inspected before it can continue its journey.
🌱 Lovingly packed & safely shipped
So that your new plant set arrives safe and fresh, at Orchideen Wichmann every component is packed separately and securely:
- The plant,
- the AIRY pot with water level indicator,
- and the mineral substrate.
What this means for you: You get a well-thought-out package and at the same time your very own planting experience at home – simple, clean, and full of joy.
Why orchids thrive especially well in AIRY
Especially orchids benefit from the innovative design of the AIRY planting system:
- As air roots, they love the root aeration that AIRY optimally enables through its 360° air circulation.
- The included mineral substrate stores water and nutrients in just the right amount – without waterlogging, but with constant moisture supply.
The result: magnificent blooms, healthy roots, and happy plant lovers!
Quality you can see and feel
Our collaboration with Orchideen Wichmann shows: When gardening passion meets innovative technology, more than just a planting system is created. A green companion for life is created that beautifies your home, improves the air – and simply brings joy.
