About the Event
Join us May 23rd for our free community cutting swap!Â
Bring a few cuttings from your indoor plant collection and swap with other plant peeps. Cuttings are subject to whatever folks decide to bring but may include a mix of common, harder to find and rare plants. Swaps are open to folks of all skill levels and there is no fee to participate. This is a social community event so feel free to hang out and talk planty with your new plant friends. Plant swappers will also receive 10% off store items during the event so be sure to grab some soil or a new pot for your plants!
REQUIREMENTS:
- All plant cuttings must be from indoor plants.Â
- Please note that this event is for plant cuttings only, not potted plants.
- All cuttings must be free of pests or diseases.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:Â
- Give your indoor plants a light trim. Find healthy pieces that contain 1-3 nodes for vining plants. If you aren't sure where to cut your plant, do some quick research beforehand to make sure you have a viable piece to swap. Different plants can be propagated from vein, leaf or stem cuttings so make sure you know what you need. Try not to remove more than 30% of your plants. Check out our blog for more information about plant propagation.
- Wrap your cuttings in a moist paper towel to keep them fresh. This isn't needed for things that like to callus over like succulents or snake plants.
- Try to know the names of the plants you are bringing as this information is helpful to pass along to the folks you swap with.
- Arrive any time during the swap but we recommend arriving when the swap begins to get the most out of the event.Â
- When swapping for plants there is no obligation to swap with someone if you don't want to. Be kind and continue looking.Â
- No money may be exchanged between plant swappers. This is not an event to sell your plants or cuttings.Â
- Have fun! This is our first free community event and we're so excited for folks to gather and chat about their plants! If you end up enjoying this event be sure to let us know so we continue to offer swaps like these in the future.
