Sion is headquartered in De Lier, the

Mike (at right in photo) and Neil van
Steekelenburg of CosMic Plants Inc., and
Eric Moor (at left in photo) of Sion decided
to join each other in their venture to supply
the North American market with
high-quality, rooted phalaenopsis young
plants. The plants will be six months old,
and grown in a community tray in a bark
mixture.
Sion Orchids is supplying CosMic
Plants with a pre-selected assortment of
the best phalaenopsis varieties available,
partly from their own breeding program
and partly from other breeders worldwide.
CosMic Plants Inc. is growing these
plants in its state-of-the-art greenhouse
facility in Beamsville, from flask to the
six-month-old plant stage.
The first young plants will be available
to commercial phalaenopsis growers
beginning in January of next year. The
program will then operate year-round
following this debut.
