Sourcing & Seasons
Our plant selection follows natural rhythms. We source plants that are actively growing and healthy, ensuring they adapt well to new environments. Seasonal awareness guides our collection.
Spring Selection
Spring marks the beginning of active growth. New leaves emerge, roots extend, and plants enter their most vigorous period. This is the ideal time to introduce new plants to your space.
We source plants that show signs of active growth—new leaves, healthy root systems, strong stems. These plants adapt more readily to new conditions when they are in their growing phase.
Spring selections include a wide variety of species. The increased light and longer days support most houseplants. This is when we expand our collection with new varieties and restock popular species.
Summer Care
Summer brings peak growing conditions. Light levels are highest, days are longest, and temperatures are warm. Most houseplants thrive during this period.
Plants may require more frequent watering as they actively grow and transpire. Some species benefit from being moved to brighter locations, taking advantage of increased natural light.
We continue sourcing throughout summer, focusing on plants that are well-established and showing healthy growth. This is also a good time to observe how plants respond to their environments.
Autumn Transition
As days shorten and light decreases, plant growth naturally slows. This transition period requires adjustment in care practices. Watering frequency typically reduces as plants enter dormancy.
Some plants may drop leaves naturally as they adjust to seasonal changes. This is normal and not necessarily a sign of poor health. Plants are conserving energy for the dormant period ahead.
Our sourcing becomes more selective in autumn. We focus on well-established plants that have had time to develop strong root systems. These plants are better equipped to handle the transition to winter conditions.
Winter Rest
Winter is a period of dormancy for most houseplants. Growth is minimal, and plants focus on maintaining health rather than producing new growth. This is the most challenging season for introducing new plants.
Light levels are lowest, and indoor heating can create dry conditions. Plants require less water but still need consistent care. The focus shifts to maintaining existing plants rather than introducing new ones.
We source sparingly during winter, selecting only the most robust plants that can handle the stress of transition during dormancy. Most sourcing activity resumes in spring when conditions improve.
Sourcing Principles
Regardless of season, we follow consistent principles in plant selection. We choose plants that show signs of health—firm leaves, strong stems, healthy root systems visible through drainage holes.
We avoid plants with signs of stress—yellowing leaves, pest damage, root rot. We select specimens that are appropriate for their container size, not overgrown or root-bound.
Each plant is inspected before being added to our collection. We observe leaf condition, check for pests, examine root health, and assess overall vigor. Only plants that meet our standards are included.
Seasonal Availability
Some species are more readily available during certain seasons. Spring and summer offer the widest variety as growers focus on production during peak growing periods.
We maintain a core collection of reliable species year-round. These are plants that adapt well to indoor conditions regardless of season. Seasonal additions expand this core collection.
If you are looking for a specific plant, we recommend visiting during spring or early summer when selection is greatest. However, our core collection ensures there are always quality plants available.

Quality Standards
Every plant we source must meet our quality standards. We inspect for health, root condition, and overall vigor before adding plants to our collection.
We work with growers who share our commitment to plant health and sustainable practices. This ensures the plants we offer are not only beautiful but also well-cared for from the start.
