A more confident choice

Choose the specimen, not just the variety

Two plants with the same name can feel very different in a space. Height, fullness, leaf character and pot size all affect the result. Ask for a current photo and approximate measurements so you can judge the actual plant before making the trip.

Check current availability

From interest to the right plant

A simple way to choose.

1. Message the plant name. Use the WhatsApp button so there is no ambiguity about the variety.

2. Confirm the exact specimen. Ask for current photos, approximate size and price.

3. Match it to the space. If placement matters, send a photo and rough dimensions of the intended area.
