Tuesdays are for repotting.

Bring your plant to the Dirt Dealer Jeffrey Boydstun at the WE BITE Soil Bar.

Not sure if your plant needs an upgrade? Look for:
šŸ’«Roots circling the pot or growing out of the drainage holes
šŸ’«Soil drying out much faster than usual
šŸ’«Growth thatā€™s slowed or stalled
šŸ’«A plant thatā€™s top-heavy or outgrown its pot
šŸ’«Old, compacted soil that just isnā€™t doing the job anymore

Weā€™ll help you choose the right pot, soil and amendments for what your plant actually needs; and get it settled into its new home.

Tuesdays at the Soil Bar:
Repotting labor is on us. Pots, soil + amendments additional.

The WE BITE Soil Bar is open daily, 10amā€“5pm. No appointment necessary.

Midsummer Monstera is here.

Thereā€™s a reason Monsteras are classics: bold leaves, fast growth, and that particular satisfaction of watching each new leaf get bigger, wilder and more fenestrated.

Now through August 31, enjoy 20% off our entire Monstera collection including:

āœØMonstera deliciosa 6ā€ & 8ā€
āœØMonstera adansonii 8ā€ hanging basket
āœØMonstera Thai Constellation 10ā€

Come find your favorite while the table is especially full.

Fresh butterworts just restocked.

Small, strange, and deceptively beautifulā€”Pinguicula are carnivorous plants that catch tiny insects on their sticky leaves. Some varieties also produce delicate flowers that feel almost too pretty for a plant that eats bugs.

We have a new selection in the shop now, each one a little different from the next.

Come take a closer look. šŸŒ±

Create a luminous world. āš”ļøāš”ļøāš”ļø

Join us Saturday, August 15 for our Orchid Terrarium Workshop, featuring the striking Lightning Jewel Orchid; a terrestrial orchid prized for its dark, velvety foliage and electric-looking veins.

Weā€™ll build a lush terrarium around the orchid using driftwood, moss, and natural materials, while learning how terrestrial orchids grow, what makes jewel orchids different, and how to care for your finished terrarium at home.

Come make something beautiful, learn something new, and leave with your own living piece of the forest floor.

Only a few spaces remain.

Thereā€™s more to repotting than a bigger pot.

The WE BITE Soil Bar is where plants, pots, soil and a little know-how come together. Bring something from your collection or start with something entirely new. Explore the pots, talk plants with our Dirt Dealer, find the right soil and amendments, and leave with something beautifully potted and ready for its next chapter.

Weā€™ve created three ways to experience it: The Whole Affair, The Concoction, and House Blend. Swipe through to find yours.

And on Tuesdays, the Soil Bar takes center stage. Repotting labor is waived every Tuesday, so bring us what youā€™ve got, or find something new while youā€™re here.

The WE BITE Soil Bar is open daily from 10am-5pm. No appointment necessary.

Letā€™s nerd out a moment. Weā€™ve sold this plant as ā€˜Florida Redā€™ but itā€™s now been reclassified as its own species of Drosera, meaning itā€™s Floridaā€™s only known endemic carnivorous plant so if you have one of these, itā€™s specialness has just been elevated.
