Kalapana Tropicals Inc. is a family owned and operated orchid farm located south east of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. Owners John & Mindi Clark started Kalapana Tropicals in 1987 as a dendrobium orchid cut flower farm in the area of Kalapana and then expanded in to growing orchids for potted plants in 1993 with a second nursery in the area of Kurtistown 20 miles away.
