All about Aroids

I’ve invited Carryn from The Repotting Co to Trevallan to do what she does best — talk AROIDS! 🪴

This is a two-hour, hands-on workshop designed to take some of the mystery out of growing, repotting and supporting aroids.

Carryn will take us through:

• How aroids actually grow

• Why climbing aroids benefit from vertical support

• How to make a moss pole and which materials to use

• Choosing the right pot and knowing when to repot

• What makes a good aroid potting mix

• Root health, drainage and aeration

• Watering and fertilising

• How to correctly position your moss pole

• How to attach and train your plant

• Ongoing care once you get it home

Then you’ll get your hands dirty!

Carryn will demonstrate how she makes a moss pole from scratch, explaining the materials and process so you can confidently make your own at home.

Then each participant will receive everything needed to put that knowledge into practice during the workshop:

🪴 An aroid plant
🪴 A pot
🪴 A pre-made moss pole
🪴 Potting mix

With Carryn guiding you, you’ll repot your new aroid, correctly position your moss pole and learn how to attach and train your plant onto its new support.

And the best bit?

The plant, pot, moss pole and potting mix are all included in your workshop price — and your newly repotted aroid comes home with you.

So you’re not just sitting through a talk and trying to remember everything when you get home.

You’re learning why we do it, seeing how it’s done, then actually doing it yourself with Carryn there to help.

This will be a small two-hour workshop with limited places, giving Carryn time to answer questions, work with participants and guide you through the process.

You’ll leave with your newly repotted aroid AND the knowledge and confidence to use what you’ve learnt on the rest of your collection at home.
