Frequently Asked Questions

Rooted in Nature

  • Rooted in Nature is a multidisciplinary, small business centered around plants, creativity, community, and intentional living. We offer plant-based products and services, ethical curiosities, creative projects, consulting, bartending, and educational advocacy, all rooted in care and connection.

  • At Rooted in Nature, we take pride in our personalized selection of tropical houseplants, each carefully curated to bring a touch of nature into your home. In addition to our collection of vibrant foliage, we provide exquisite mounts and enchanting terrariums to elevate your indoor space. If you have a particular plant in mind that is not currently part of our inventory, don't hesitate to inquire about our personalized plant ordering service for a truly tailored botanical experience.

  • Mounts are a unique way to showcase plants by attaching them to wood using sheet moss and fishing line. This method mimics their natural environment and encourages the plant to grow onto the wood. To care for mounts, monitor the moss ball's moisture level - if it feels dry it's time to water. Watering involves soaking the mount in tepid water for about 20 minutes, ensuring the plant gets enough hydration. After soaking, allow the mount to dry by hanging it up. Frequency of watering varies based on the mount's size and location, typically done once or twice a week.

  • Terrariums are miniature ecosystems crafted within glass containers, nurturing plants that thrive in humid surroundings. These botanical wonders are carefully assembled with layers of Leca or rocks for proper drainage, activated charcoal for organic bacteria breakdown, and a specialized terrarium soil blend combining bark, pumice, and a hint of sphagnum moss. Delicate plants find their home amidst these materials, adorned with a final layer of forest moss or decorative rocks. Enhancing their charm are unique embellishments like crystals, figurines, or even bones, adding a touch of whimsy to these captivating creations.

  • If a plant, mount, or terrarium arrives to you in a deceased or impaired state, we kindly ask you to capture an image or video within 24 hours of receiving the package. Please proceed to submit an email via our 'Contact Us' page, sharing the specifics of the situation. Following this, we will engage in a conversation to determine the best course of action, which may involve a refund or a product exchange. Our aim is to ensure your satisfaction with our offerings.
