What you will do

An epiphyte (/ˈɛpɪfʌɪt/) is a specific organism that grows on the surface of other plants and gets it moisture and nutrients from the air and rain, while causing no damage to its host plant. In this workshop participants will learn about epiphytical houseplant species, root systems, and common houseplants that are epiphytical including staghorn ferns, orchids and air plants. You will learn how to care for them, and how to turn Staghorn Ferns into your own low maintenance living decoration. Be prepared to take home a fairly large plant.
