What is the International Aroid Society?
The International Aroid Society (IAS)
is a global community of growers, researchers, and collectors focused on the aroid plant family —
Anthurium, Philodendron, Alocasia, Monstera, and many more.
IAS runs education programs, supports conservation and research, and hosts the annual Tropical Plant Expo
where vendors, speakers, and hobbyists meet to share plants and knowledge.

Why Rare Root Labs supports IAS
We supply wholesale tissue culture to growers across the U.S. Supporting IAS aligns with how we work:
better plants, clearer education, and a healthier trade.
- Respect for conservation and responsible sourcing
- Education that helps growers succeed with TC and plugs
- A show floor full of new introductions and rare material
Frank and the RRL team will be walking the show and visiting booths — not running a numbered booth.
