Plant collections
Five collections, one greenhouse
Each collection is grown for a different way of living with plants — mounted on a shelf, blooming on a windowsill, or planted under glass.
Collection 01
Tillandsias & Airplants
Unique, soil-free plants available in an incredible variety of shapes, textures and colors.
Tillandsias take water and nutrients through their leaves rather than their roots, so they can be mounted on wood, set in a shallow dish or tucked into a planted enclosure. They range from fine, silvery species that prefer dry air and strong light to greener, softer species that want humidity and shade.
Collection 02
Orchids
Distinctive tropical orchids featuring remarkable blooms and collector-worthy varieties.
Most tropical orchids grow on trees rather than in soil, which is why they are potted in bark and moss rather than compost. Given the right light and a wet-then-dry watering rhythm, many will rebloom year after year.
Collection 03
Bromeliads
Bold tropical plants known for colorful foliage, unusual forms and spectacular blooms.
Bromeliads hold water in a central cup formed by their leaves, and many colour up dramatically in bright light. A mature plant flowers once, then produces offsets around its base that carry the plant on.
Collection 04
Terrarium Plants
Miniature tropical plants selected for enclosed and high-humidity environments.
Plants for closed glass need to stay small, tolerate constant moisture and cope with lower light than a windowsill plant. That narrows the field considerably — these are the varieties that hold their shape inside a small planted world instead of outgrowing it in a season.
Collection 05
Vivarium Plants
Plants suitable for creating lush, naturalistic planted habitats.
A vivarium asks more of a plant than a terrarium does: it has to handle humidity, water movement and, often, animals moving through it. These are the tougher tropicals — climbers, creepers and mounted species that root into a background and fill in over time.
