STOREFRONT
All our plants are propagated and grown locally in Northern New Mexico.
We do not resell mass-market or “big box” plants, and we do not forage or collect native species — we believe in leaving our state beautiful and undisturbed.
Any plants sourced from trusted growers or retailers remain in our care until they are fully established, healthy and acclimated before finding a new home.
Whenever possible, we prioritize supporting local, family-owned businesses and small growers within our community.
For more information on our practices, or to inquire about working with us, please send us a message from the Contact page.
african violets
Classic African Violet not currently in bloom. This compact plant is healthy, well-established, and ready to brighten any space.
Potted in a custom African violet mix to support consistent moisture and root health.
Pot size: 3.5”
Current stage: Healthy new growth
Light: Bright, indirect light
Water: Keep soil lightly moist; avoid water on leaves
Perfect for desks, windowsills, or as a thoughtful, ready-to-enjoy gift.
Originating in Tanzania and Kenya, with over 30,000 different species, African Violets produce a wide variety of different blooms, ranging in color, texture and size. Some leaves (and even blooms) are beautifully variegated (having white, cream or pink patches). Despite their diversity, the overall appearance of an African Violet is unmistakable, with large, flat leaves and blooms that grow outward from the crown.
succulents
There are over 10,000 species of succulent in the world, ranging in size from just an inch or two, to absolutely massive—up to 98 feet tall. All cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti. The main distinguisher is that non-cacti succulents store water in petals/leaves. Some succulents have delicate petals that easily burn in the sun, making them more suitable for patios and south-facing windows, while others, like the Sempervivum, are highly heat and cold tolerant, making them ideal for the harsh weather in New Mexico.

anthuriums
Anthuriums are a cousin of the Alocasia—also aroids—with over 1,000 species, making them the largest genus of the arum family. Some possess striking, ornamental leaves with modest flowers, while others have bright, showy, colored flowers with modest leaves. Like their alocasia cousins, some anthuriums’ leaves are rubbery, while others have a velvety texture. Each one requires slightly different care.
alocasias
Alocasias are a type of aroid, with over 100 species worldwide. Highly sought after for their dramatic, arrow-shaped foliage, these are true tropical & subtropical plants. They reproduce through rhizomes in the humid, warm climates of Australia and Asia.
begonias
There are over 2,000 distinct species of Begonia, with multiple classifications based on their characteristics and growth habits. Some are hardy, good for outdoor gardens (even sometimes in New Mexico), while others are delicate and more suitable as indoor plants. All begonias bloom, but like the Anthurium, these blooms range from small, subtle accents to large and show-stopping.
ORCHIDS
Orchids, comprised of over 25,000 species, can be found on every continent except Antarctica. From the rainforests of Hawaii to the Truchas Mountains of New Mexico, orchids are one of the most fascinating and beautiful plants. Despite getting a bad rap for being fussy, there are actually much fussier houseplants in existence. Under the right conditions—and depending on the type—it’s easy to enjoy blooms on your orchids multiple times a year. The way you care for an orchid in New Mexico differs from how you would in more temperate areas.
