Is it time to repot your orchids? Regularly repotting orchids not only provides new nourishment and space to grow, but the opportunity to assess their health and treat anything that may be ailing your plants.

Bring an orchid or two from home and your plant will leave this hands-on workshop with a "good home." Plants will be repotted into basic plastic pots (included in the fee). You may bring a selection of fancy pots from your own collection if you prefer. Posts must have adequate drainage holes. If the weather is chilly, please cover your plant with a plastic bag to keep it warm.

This hands-on workshop teaches you how to care for and trim your plant's leaves and root system and identify the proper potting mediums and techniques from our experts.

All repotting materials are included. Payment is required in advance and is non-refundable. This program is limited to eight participants.
