Why do we do what we do? 🌿

Specialty Tropicals was built around a simple idea: creating a place for plant collectors to discover unusual plants, learn something new, and connect with others who share the same passion.

Whether you’ve been with us for years or you’ve just recently found our page, we’re grateful you’re here.

Hello friends. 🌿

We’ve been a little quiet lately.

Due to some health challenges within our family, social media and business updates had to take a back seat for a season. Thankfully, things are moving in the right direction, and we’re excited to begin finding our rhythm again.

While we may have been quiet online, our love for plants, vintage treasures, and serving this wonderful community never changed.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and for continuing to follow along with our journey. We’re looking forward to sharing more greenhouse updates, new finds, and a little bit of everyday life again.

We’re glad to be back. 💚

Coming soon…as I was checking the retail greenhouse this afternoon, this little Brassavola nodosa hybrid (Lady of the Night orchid) caught my attention. Beautiful fragrance, coming soon to ST! 🙂
