Hello y’all 🤍 we missed you, it’s been a while!

How are you all? Our lovely customers, friends, market traders, and all the community here?

Some of you already know that baby no2 is here already and that’s why we stopped for a while our plant activity and markets. For now we spend time in Athens with our family and friends and enjoy a little bit the wintery but still warm (for uk standards) weather ☺️

Thank you all for the huge support last season! Please keep on visiting markets and buy from local small businesses! You cannot imagine how happy you make small businesses owners!

I’m happy still receiving your messages with plant questions!! Keep them coming! Always here to help 🖖

Lots of love,
Rania, Thanasis, Nikolas & Eva

Getting ready for a market takes time/days. 🍃

As you know we buy plants from UK growers and repot everything to coconut coir pots!

In this way
1. When you buy plants from us, you do not have to buy an additional pot (normally when you buy plants with the nursery plastic pot, it’s good to repot as soon as possible) & repot your plant.. your new green friend is ready for the shelf 🪴
2. Coconut coir pots are great for the plant’s health- it’s breathable for the perfect roots and best for the drainage
3. When the time comes (after 1-1,5 years depending on the plant) and you’ll have to put your plant into a bigger pot, you do not have to remove the coconut coir pot. It’s fully biodegradable so you just add it into a bigger pot as it is!

We are almost ready for this Sunday 07/04 for and can’t wait to see you all again 🤍

Let’s talk about out Variegated Monsteras 🌱

Variegated Monstera plants are characterized by their mottled foliage, a unique coloring caused by the lack of green pigment in some of the plant cells. Depending on the exact cultivar or variety, the variegation can differ in color (yellow, cream, light green, pure white) and pattern (speckled, blocky, splotchy).

Thanasis will have one of them tomorrow with him at 🍃

It’s been almost 2 months or 7 already this year? The beginning of the year may feels heavy for some of you (us), but it will only get better as the day gets bigger and the weather warmer 🍃

What we can do till then? We can meet in markets and talk about our plants 🤍

Full weekend starts tomorrow:
1. The legendary 🌱
2. New entry 🌿

Very excited for the weekend 🦄

123123.

We certainly had an interesting year as a business and as a family 🍃

~ beginning of the year: spent some time in Greece while being on parental leave (yep- that’s why the sun in Jan!)

~ spring: start planning our life in a different direction. Decided for Thanasis to leave his long career in corporate and spend time with Nikolas (best decision ever!!). In addition, set up structure for ihaveaplant. Our plan was to have as many markets as possible, as we love personal contact with our customers.

~ summer: had the best holidays ever. People visit Kithnos 🐟 end of summer had to move houses; new level of moving with a baby 🫠

~ autumn: lots of markets. Like lots. Every weekend. And loved every single one of them 🌱 we were in Crystal Palace, West Norwood, Catford, Horniman, Maple Road.

~ December 🎄: from business perspective was much worst from what was expected. From a fam perspective, looks like we have to move house again soon > send help 🫠

🌿Thoughts: we are always positive and focused on our goals no matter a difficult month(s). Plant love and customer support is in the core of who we are.

🌿Goals for 2024: coming soon.

Happy NY people!
Have fun today and hug the people you love 🫶

p.s thank you for the support- we don’t take it for granted 🪴

The pilea story.

Started 2,5 years ago as we were living in our favorite house in London. Your environment can inspire you to grow and create stuff you have never thought before. And here’s what happened;

We always had lots (like lots!) of plants to our house, so what would change to have some more? Both working full time jobs, but always happy to add more to our calendar; is this because our friends & families leave far? Is this because baby Nikolas took his sweet time to arrive? Who know.

We felt the need to create something that it’s ours; something small, something honest, something that will grow with us, something that will bring joy to the people that will come along.

This is I have a plant.
