Kawamoto Orchid Nursery is a family-owned business located deep in Palolo on Oahu. It is known for its beautiful orchids, air plants, and exotic plants, offering a wide variety that cannot be found in grocery stores or larger nurseries. The nursery is especially famous for its orchids, which are the main attraction and include many fragrant and flowering varieties, some of which are hanging. Prices are very reasonable, with Tillandsia costing $2-$3 compared to higher prices elsewhere. Visitors often comment on the friendly and knowledgeable staff, as well as the welcoming atmosphere created by the owners, who have a long history of nurturing orchids. The nursery is noted for its great assortment and the ease of shipping plants to the mainland, making it a perfect gift from Hawaii. Although some wish for more guidance and educational information about orchids, most visitors agree that the nursery is worth the drive just to see the stunning orchids and experience the warm hospitality.
Highly recommended this seller, the orchid I got is better than expected (even in sheet). Very easy to communicate with. Great customer service.

Best nursery close to town. My father has worked here for more than 30 years nurturing beautiful orchids for the islands. :) Wonderful family-owned business - I love this place and the people.
