Repotting Service

We repot in our own soil blends, check the root system, trim where needed, and send the plant home in a new pot if you want one. We handle everything from small succulents to large-specimen ficus.

Seasonal Plant Subscription

Four times a year we put together a small box: one or two plants chosen for the coming season, a bag of appropriate soil, and a care note. Subscribers get first access to new arrivals before they hit the floor.

Pot and Plant Matching

You bring the pot, we find the plant. Or the other way around. We spend time on proportion, drainage, and whether the glaze will work with the light in your room. It takes longer than you'd expect and that's fine.
