Open coastal forests to approx 1000m, often growing in the hollow limbs of trees with the roots extending many meters down the host tree. The Nambucca Valley Orchid Society was formed on the 6th February 1984, when ten growers suffering from orchiditis, met to form a club in which they could comfort each other in their suffering, and to promote a better understanding and friendly competition in the growing of orchids. The society became incorporated on the 18th May 1992, with all financial members of the former society becoming members of the incorporated society.
