Are you wondering how to transition a plant that's been rooted in water into soil?

Watch as I take a rooted begonia and pot her in a chunky soil mix. Add water and the right light, and she'll be happy and healthy.

Growing my dream, one day at a time.

A few months ago, The Padded Leaf was just an idea. Images popped in my head of me living my dream planty life and living what I do.

Now I'm building my inventory, designing business cards, and running out of space and fast.

There's still a lot to do, but I'm excited to share my journey.

Follow along as we grow. 🌿

🌱 Propagation Update

One of my favorite parts of growing plants is watching new roots emerge.
These little cuttings may not look like much now, but in a few months they'll be ready for new homes.

Every plant starts somewhere.

🌿 Which plant do you think is easiest to propagate?

Plant styling isn't about filling a room with plants.

It's about creating balance.

A few simple ideas:

🌿 Use varying heights
🌿 Mix textures and leaf shapes
🌿 Match planters to your décor
🌿 Start with one statement plant

Sometimes a single well-placed plant can completely transform a space.
