An online plant shop for the long game.

Houseplants for slow growers.

A small online shop carrying carefully-chosen houseplants — the easy-going staples that thrive in homes that aren't greenhouses, alongside a handful of rarer cultivars for collectors who already know their light. Every plant ships with honest care instructions; nothing gets sold as a 'beginner's plant' if it isn't one.

Three picks for real homes.

Each plant ships in a nursery pot with a printed care card. Larger sizes available for the patient buyer; sapling sizes available for the impatient one.

Care over hype

We will tell you if a plant is wrong for your home.

Most plant problems come from buying the wrong plant for your light. Before you buy, tell us: which window the plant is going by, whether you're home enough to water consistently, and whether your home runs warm or cool. We'll match a plant to your house rather than sell you one that needs a different house.

  • LightMost labels lie. We'll be specific about "bright indirect" vs "two metres from a south window".
  • WaterThe single biggest killer is overwatering. We send a moisture meter with rare-cultivar orders.
  • HumidityIf you live in a dry-air home, we'll steer you toward plants that don't mind.
  • PetsWe flag plants that are toxic to cats and dogs. Pet-safe alternatives suggested where they exist.
  • RepottingFree re-pot guide with every order. Annual repot rarely; biannual usually right.
