The boys are back in town! And by boys, I mean me and some plants.

Fancy trying your hand at keeping carnivorous plants? These Nepenthes rebecca soper are the perfect beginner plant for anybody starting out with carnivores!

Up soon on the etsy page, or feel free to message if interested!

Hello you beautiful people.

I've been needing to post this for a while, but getting around to it has been difficult.

As you all probably know, or have guessed, the shop is now shut.

Sadly, it wasn't working as a business, and I have absolutely no business skills. Why I thought it was a good idea in the first-place is beyond me.

However, the two years we were open, I met some of the most wonderful people I could ever wish to meet. And I'll always be thankful for that.

To everyone who came in and spoke to me, to everyone who ever messaged, I just want to say thank you.

I'll still keep this page going, so feel free to message about anything plant related!

Thank you all for reading, and thank you all for your support

Can't believe how many aspidistra there are growing in Italy!

We currently have several of these incredibly hardy plants for sale in-store!

Thank you for modelling (and for sourcing our aspidistra!)

Monstera tuberculata established cuttings for sale on our etsy page!

These Monstera are shingling plants, similar to Monstera dubia, but far less common.

Like dubia, the leaves themselves wrap around whatever support they are given

Look at these fiery little guys!

Not seen often in garden centers or plant shops, these variegated shell ginger plants are beautiful little eye-catchers! 😍

Currently available in several different sizes!

(The roots are technically edible, but we do not recommend eating them)

Want a mature-form Monstera, but don't have space for the giant leaves? 🤔

How about this beauty???

This petite thing has been cut from a 40 year old plant, and is even in bloom!

Can guarantee this will sell in no-time, so pop down soon if you're interested!

Cast Iron plants! (Aspidistra)

Last time we got these bad boys in, they sold out within a week 😂

We decided to get more in this time, and in several different sizes!

If you missed them last time, these dudes were all the rage in the 50s and 60s, partly fue to the fact that they are the easiest plants to keep (hence "Cast Iron plant")

Here's our new mature baby (Hugo for scale)
