Heads up everyone 💚

We will not be open today. I’m still pretty wiped out from the weekend and the shop honestly needs a full reset — watering, reorganizing, getting everything back in place.

That said, I will be at the shop most of the day cleaning. The gate will likely be closed, but if you happen to see me inside and really want to grab something or just stop by and chat, feel free to say hi — I’ll happily let you in 🙂

We’re planning to be back to regular hours by Thursday (or Friday at the latest).

Just a heads up as well:
• We’re going to be very low on stock this week
• No restock until we place our next import (likely in the next couple weeks)

If there’s anything specific you’ve been wanting, please message us so we can try to include it in the next order!

Also — enjoy some photos of our baby mantises that just hatched 🥹 They’re already putting in work helping keep our grow room nice and pest-free!

And seriously — thank you all so much for the support at the All-American Reptile & Plant Expo this past weekend. It means more than you know. I’m really excited to see you all again at the next one 💚

Appreciate you all 🙏

🚨 Big Weekend Announcement! 🚨

The Plant Vault will be at the All American Reptile and Plant Expo in Castle Rock this weekend — the largest reptile & plant expo in all of Colorado! 🌿🦎

If you love plants and/or reptiles… DO NOT miss this event. This show is always packed with incredible vendors, rare finds, and some of the coolest plants & animals you’ll ever see.

📅 Event Dates & Hours:
• Friday (VIP): 5 PM – 9 PM
• Saturday: 10 AM – 4 PM
• Sunday: 10 AM – 4 PM

🌿 What to Expect From Us:
We’re going all in on unique and rare plants this weekend.

Expect a mix of rares, some cool variegated plants, and a lot of different stuff you don’t see every day 👀✨

Just a heads up — we’ll be leaving most of our basic/common plants behind for this show. The competition on regular foliage just isn’t worth it, so we’re focusing on bringing the more special stuff.

And of course… we’ll have our Colorado Constellation Pothos available in a wide variety of sizes 🌱✨

⸻

🐉 We will also be bringing a one-month-old hypo zero bearded dragon that we will be looking to adopt out. If you’re interested, definitely come talk to us — but please understand we will be very selective about who they go home with.

⸻

⚠️ Store Update for Today:
We are in full prep mode getting everything labeled, packed, and ready for the expo. Because of that, we may not be opening the shop today so we can stay focused and make sure everything is ready to go.

We appreciate your patience and understanding 🙏

⸻

We can’t wait to see you all there — come out, say hi, and support local! 🌱💚

‼️🚨‼️
As many of you know, the Colorado Constellation Pothos has been one of the most exciting and meaningful parts of my work—something I’ll always be proud of.

Recently, I’ve come across listings and claims online that are misrepresenting the origin of this plant, and I want to address that clearly.

The Colorado Constellation was discovered by me in Colorado in 2018. I have spent years growing, stabilizing, and sharing this plant. That history matters.

To be absolutely clear: Teruno did not discover this plant. They have only had access to it for a relatively short period of time after it was brought to them. Working with a plant is not the same as discovering it, and those are two very different things.

I’m not asking for royalties or trying to profit off of others. All I’ve ever wanted is for the name and the origin of this plant to remain accurate and honest. Trying to rewrite that story or remove where it came from is not okay, and it’s incredibly disrespectful—not just to me, but to the integrity of the plant community as a whole.

I’m glad to see the Colorado Constellation gaining attention and popularity—that part is amazing. But misinformation is not.

If you see listings or posts that are incorrectly stating its origin, I would truly appreciate you helping correct that. Not everything you see online is accurate, and this is one of those cases.

I have asked for corrections to be made, and if necessary, I am prepared to take further steps(legal action) to protect the truth behind this plant.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and continues to stand behind the real story. It means more than you know. 🫶

🌿✨ Big Week Here at The Plant Vault! ✨🌿

Our newest import order officially made it in, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything arrived. The plants came in fast, they’re looking amazing, and now they’re getting some well-deserved recovery time before they’re ready for new homes.

There’s a lot of variety in this shipment, but I will say… one of the standout pieces has to be the Monstera Ocean Mint we brought in. Definitely a little bougie, definitely a collector plant, and easily one of the eye-catchers from this batch 👀🌱

Right now we’re focused on acclimating everything properly and getting ready for the All American Plant & Reptile Expo at the end of April — and yes, we’ve got ONE more import planned before then to really round out what we’ll be bringing to the show.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks as things settle in… this is just the start 💚

Over seven years later and still thriving — this Colorado Constellation has survived extreme heat, freezing temps, and everything in between. One of our oldest greenhouse plants and still growing strong… now we’re just waiting on that first real fenestration 🤞

Seven years ago, I discovered what would later become known as the Colorado Constellation Pothos — and today it’s officially over seven years old. Over that time, it has proven to be one of the most stable pothos cultivars I’ve ever worked with, and honestly one of the most beautiful.

This right here is the largest, one of the oldest, and most stunning Colorado Constellations we’ve ever grown. It was actually planted directly into the ground of the greenhouse when we moved in back in 2023, and this is where we’re at today. What’s even crazier is that it started out as just a small runner off the original mother plant that decided to root itself into the ground. I figured… why not let it grow? Eventually I cut it from the mother plant and just let it climb the wall — and it absolutely took off.

What makes it even more special is everything it has survived. From extreme greenhouse heat waves pushing close to 150° when the fans failed in the middle of summer… to freezing conditions down near 20° when we lost heat and power during the asbestos situation — this plant has been through it all and never gave up.

And yes… we’re still waiting on that true fenestration. Last year it teased us with a single hole in one leaf and hasn’t produced any more since. So hopefully this is the year we finally see a real split leaf 🤞 A full fenestration would be amazing and bring it even closer to the Thai Constellation Monstera look that inspired its name in the first place.

To me, it’s more than just a plant. It’s a reminder of resilience, patience, and growth — even through the toughest seasons. And the fact that it’s still thriving today just shows how strong and incredible this cultivar truly is.

I hope you all enjoy the new photo updates 💚
