Embarking on a Green Thumb Journey
Hey there, fellow plant enthusiasts! Today, I want to share my incredible journey with Philodendrons and how my love for plants blossomed during the pandemic. Now, I must admit that my wife is the true green thumb in our household, but her passion rubbed off on me, and I couldn't help but fall head over heels for these leafy wonders.
It all started when the world came to a halt in 2020, and we found ourselves spending most of our time at home. Looking for ways to bring some joy and positivity into our lives, my wife suggested we explore the world of indoor plants. Little did I know, this simple suggestion would lead to a deep and lasting love for Philodendrons.
Micans' sexy back
Our first foray into the world of Philodendrons began with the enchanting Philodendron Micans. Its velvety leaves in shades of green and bronze were a sight to behold. As we watched it thrive and grow, we became captivated by its beauty and the sense of calm it brought to our home.
From there, we ventured into the realm of the Philodendron Brasil. Its vibrant, heart-shaped leaves and easy-going nature won us over instantly. It thrived in various lighting conditions, making it the perfect plant for beginners like us.

Exploring Exotic Varieties: The Allure of Gloriosums and White Knights
As our confidence grew, we decided to explore more exotic varieties. We fell in love with the Philodendron Gloriosum, with its magnificent heart-shaped leaves adorned with intricate patterns. Its presence added a touch of elegance to our plant collection.

Not long after, we welcomed the majestic Philodendron White Knight into our home. Its large leaves, splashed with shades of variegated white and green, added a sense of drama and sophistication to our plant family. We couldn't help but admire its beauty every time we walked by.
Our journey didn't stop there. We continued to expand our collection, exploring new and rare Philodendron species, each one more fascinating than the last. Our home soon became a sanctuary of green, filled with the lush foliage of various Philodendron varieties.
Throughout this journey, I've come to appreciate the therapeutic nature of caring for these plants. Tending to their needs, watching them thrive, and witnessing their growth has brought a sense of fulfillment and peace during the challenging times. It's amazing how something as simple as nurturing a plant can uplift the spirit and provide solace.
Turning Passion into Business: Bringing Dreams to Life
But wait, there's more to our story! During the pandemic, as our love for Philodendrons grew, we decided to take a leap of faith and turn our passion into a small plant business. It's funny to think that six years ago, I had written in this very space about my wish to own a nursery someday. Well, fate works in mysterious ways, and here we are, living that dream.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, and we were thrilled to see the joy our plants brought to people's lives. From beginners looking to start their plant journey to experienced collectors seeking unique additions, our customers found solace and beauty in the world of Philodendrons.
While running a plant business is no walk in the park, it has been a rewarding experience. We've had the opportunity to connect with fellow plant enthusiasts, share our knowledge, and witness the excitement on customers' faces when they find that perfect plant. It's a feeling that never gets old.
