Tropical Plant International Expo (TPIE) is listed for January 20 to 22, 2027 at the Broward County Convention Center. The Tropical Plant International Expo is the trade show for foliage, tropical plants and floral products. Growers sell to garden centers, interior landscapers and retail buyers. Graphink prints, delivers and installs graphics for exhibitors from our shop in Doral.
What TPIE Is About
South Florida is the center of the tropical plant industry, and many exhibitors are nurseries from Homestead and the Redland. The hall is filled with live plants, so booths look like gardens.
What Exhibitors Need Here
The plants are the display. Signage has to identify, price and brand them without getting lost in the green.
- Nursery name headers and hanging signs
- Plant identification and price signs
- Catalogs, availability lists and order forms
- Water-resistant banners and labels
A Show You Can Smell
TPIE fills the hall with living plants. Growers build displays that look like gardens, hotel lobbies and retail benches. Buyers from garden centers and interior landscape firms walk through placing orders for the season ahead.
Because the plants dominate, signs have to be tall or hung to be seen. Each variety needs a name and often a new-introduction tag. Order writing is fast, so availability lists and order forms are used in quantity. Displays are watered daily, which rules out ordinary paper and card near the benches.
When to Order
- Three weeks or more before: Custom display structures and hanging signs.
- One to two weeks before: Nursery headers, variety signs, catalogs and order forms.
- Show week: Extra availability lists, replacement signs and new-variety tags.
What Graphink Does at TPIE

- Booth design and build through our trade show booth team
