Join us on Sunday, May 18th from 5:30-7:00 pm for an engaging and hands-on workshop where you will learn the art of Mounting Epiphytic Plants!

What are epiphytic plants?

Epiphytes are plants that grow on other surfaces (like trees, rocks, or mounts) without harming their host. Instead of rooting in soil, they absorb water and nutrients through the air, rain and debris around them. They’re common in tropical rainforests but make great houseplants too!

Why mount them?

• Mimics their natural growing conditions

• Enhances air circulation, reducing rot

• Creates stunning living art (ex. mounted staghorn ferns, air plant displays)

Great Plants for Mounting:

• Staghorn Ferns

• Air plants

• Orchids

• Bird’s Nest Fern

• Rhipsalis

• Pothos

• Philodendron

• Hoyas

• Learn about the mounting materials & prep

• Live demo: Step by step mounting from shop manager, Brett!

• Hands-on: Creating your own mounted plant
