Rare Terrarium Plants, Air Plants, and More at Repticon Memphis July 30-31 – Ya’ll Come!

1 Comment on Rare Terrarium Plants, Air Plants, and More at Repticon Memphis July 30-31 – Ya’ll Come!

I’m meeting my good friend, the Air Plant King from The Funny Farm himself, Michael Seal, down in Southaven next week at the Repticon Memphis convention.

What’s Repticon, you ask? Well, in September of 2009 Repticon expanded West with Repticon Memphis, a major reptile expo. Hosted at The Landers Center (formerly known as the Desoto Civic Center) in Southaven, Mississippi, guests from Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi have a chance to encounter a wide variety of reptiles and amphibians that they might not have had the opportunity to experience in their home cities. (Guests from outside of Mississippi purchasing pets to take home should check first to make sure their new pets are welcome by their local laws.) Repticon Memphis was also the second Repticon show to feature a venomous-included area, featuring non-native venomous snakes from around the world. Lots of herpers come out to the show from all over the tri-state, and we are very excited to be joining the lineup of vendors.

You can find all the details here: Repticon Memphis

Michael is bringing a passel of tillandsias and other bromeliads, driftwood, and whatnot. Check out his website,

I’m bringing terrarium plants, terrariums, kokedama, crystals and minerals, terrarium soil mix and kits, and who knows what all!

Check out the photos below, and give me a call at 901-828-3685 with any questions. Please leave your info for occasional plant posts.

Come see us, it should be very interesting…

Build Your Own Terrarium Sunday June 12

Post date May 27, 2016

I collect and propagate miniature exotic tropical plants suitable for low light and high humidity conditions, for use in my living art creations, and my mini-greenhouses are popping their tops with an abundance of extras, so I’m having a build your own workshop to share the largesse. If you want to learn the art and science of designing, building, and maintaining these miniature rainforests from an expert, don’t miss this opportunity.

Sign up today, space is limited to 6 people for each workshop, then come have fun playing in the dirt with us.

The first workshop is from 1 to 3 pm, the second is from 3:30 to 5:30, on Sunday June 12, at 700 North Belvedere in Midtown Memphis.

Here’s how it works:

The base price of $45 includes the gravel, activated carbon, sphagnum moss, and my special soil mix designed for use in terrariums; detailed instructions and information from the Memphis Plant Lady herself, and an ongoing hotline for answers to any questions you may have as your little green friend grows and changes. Then, customize the terrarium to suit your space and taste by your choice of glassware, plants, and accessories.

Plants cost $5 to $15 each (most are $5 but for the true collector I have a few rare gems I can share).

I’ll have a variety of sizes and shapes of glassware on hand, from $10 to $60 or so dollars, or better yet, bring your own glassware with you. Make sure the glass is clear, no ripples or waves, and that you can get your hand easily through the opening; it should be at least 10 inches deep; it must be watertight; remember it will be much heavier going home, so not too big.

Accessories are things like geodes and crystals, petrified wood, fairies or dinosaurs. Again, bring your own to make it just how you want it, or buy some from my huge stash of little interesting things. No metal or plaster items are suitable.

You can make more than one; an additional charge for the planting substrates may apply. Send me a message at the link below or call me at 901-828-3685. Hope to see you there!

What Happens at a Build Your Own Workshop?

Pick your glass; pick your plants, play in the dirt, and leave with a new little friend to show everyone. Open the top, smell the rainforest, and be transported.

Glassware should be sturdy, clear, and with an opening large enough for a hand filled with dirt. A clear top is also nice

Neoregelia – nice jungle look, looks like it would get big but not much more than this. And button fern, so sweet

Pilea comes in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and colors, all gorgeous and like something from outer space!

Magally built the lovely fairy garden with a maidenhair fern and lots of moss

Ruth is taking her new skills to teach kids in DeSoto County
