March 10, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Carlos A. Cahiz is the oldest son of Carlos and Teresa Cahiz. Born
in Valencia, Venezuela in 1964, he graduated from the University
of Kansas in 1989.
Carlos joined the family business, OFE International Orchids &
Supplies in 1990, and has been with the company ever since. One
of his first tests as manager was to deal with the devastation left
behind from hurricane Andrew.
OFE is now located in the Redland area of Homestead. We have
expanded our product line. We now not only sell orchid supplies,
but also orchids and a selection of tropical plants.Most weeks, there is something new happening at OFE.
Carlos has been more involved with our local orchid community. He is a past President of the South Florida Orchid Society.
Carlos shares his West Kendall/Miami home with his wife Amanda and their son. They all share their home with various adopted dogs, birds, turtles, orchids and other tropicals. His growing approach can be distilled into these two ideas: Tender neglect. And, listen to your plants.
Most days, you will find him, and his brother Chris, at OFE’s location, 17899 SW. 280 th Street, Homestead FL 33031. OFE’s website is www.ofeintl.com. Contact them at 305-253-7080, or via e-mail: ofeorchidsupplies@gmail.com. Or via Facebook and Instagram@ofeorchidsupplies.
