Small plant. BIG character.

Meet Geohintonia mexicana, a fascinating cactus from northeastern Mexico.

This is one of those plants that reminds me why collecting isn't always about size. The texture, symmetry and slow-growing nature are what make plants like this so interesting to collectors.

Would you add a Geohintonia to your collection?

When stress makes an Aloe more beautiful.

This is Aloe dorotheae, showing one of the things I love about growing Aloes, their color can change dramatically depending on growing conditions.

Under stronger light, the green leaves can develop beautiful reddish to bronze tones.

Would you prefer your Aloe green or heavily stressed/red? 👇

🌿 Day 3 Wrap! 🌿

Hectic from opening until closing! 😅🪴

Today was all about sharing, catching up, and having fun. I got to teach several newbies the basics of Haworthias and Euphorbias, reminisce memories with old friends, and of course, our booth was also visited by several famous friends! 😅❤️

A big THANK YOU to everyone who dropped by, chatted with us, and especially to our buyers! 🥹💚 I hope all the tips and little plant kwentos I shared will help you take better care of your new babies. 🌱

Another day done, but one more day to go!

See you tomorrow - LAST DAY NA!!! 🎉🪴💚

Syempre, took the chance to have a photo with Kaylee Allen, one of the influencers I’ve been following since the pandemic, and Sean Willian Salim. 📸✨

A huge thank you to everyone who bought from us (sorry walang picture) and to everyone who stopped by, checked out, and showed interest in our plants. 🌱
