A woodland mini-habitat in a birch-wrapped container with Asarum Caudatum (Wild Ginger), moss, branches, Douglas Fir cone, adorned with faux bird, mushroom, and ladybug.
Western wild ginger is an often overlooked but ubiquitous member of various forest communities at low to middle elevations, from British Columbia south to California, and as far east as western Montana. With substantial tree cover and rich soils, these communities occur in areas with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, on fairly flat ground to moderate slopes, where they help control erosion.
Care instructions:
Perfect for your covered partial to full shaded patio or balcony. Place it in your sink and water once a week slowly around the plant until water drips at the bottom; mist it twice in between watering. Your mini-habitat will stay in the container between 6 to a year. Once the plant outgrow the container, you can either transfer it into a bit bigger container or plant it in your garden.
Please email weina@poppyandfinch to set up pick-up time at my studio in Sellwood on either Friday or Saturday.
