The Plant Import Process and Getting Those Plants Established

November speaker: Sofia Zaydak

Sofia will share her insights into importing plants, focusing on the import requirements needed, and the care fresh import plants need to survive. She’ll offer practical tips on navigating the importing process and completing the necessary paperwork.

She will also explain the step-by-step acclimation process for bare root plants received in the mail. Learning how to properly rehabilitate bare root cacti and succulents, and fast-tracking root establishment, will greatly improve your plant growing success when ordering plants online.

Sofia will bring some special cactus and succulents to sell at the meeting.
