Join us for a virtual class that demystifies air plants and their care! Greenhouse Coordinator Emilia Arellano will review the basics of air plants and demonstrate a few plant-friendly display options that do not rely on glue. Although generally considered to be indestructible because they do not require soil or extensive watering, we will review a few tricks to create the environment for your air plants to thrive and reward your TLC with blooms. Auto captioning will be available.
Air Plant Kits are available for purchase to follow along and practice your newly acquired skills.
Class Price:
