So I love plants. And I love different kinds of houseplants. But I got hella annoyed not finding anything that fit what I thought would work for aroids and other tropical houseplants and went, "Oh, God, we've got that 3D printer, don't we?"
So I learned to 3D model.
It is very hard.
Anyway, I have another tumblr, and I love navigating tumblr, and was like, hmm, maybe people who grow plants may find them interesting? So I started one for my store. I launched yesterday!
If you don't like planters or don't need them, I plan on releasing nature-themed art pieces and other things too. To keep up with that, you can follow me here on Tumblr or on Instagram (or Facebook, but I'll be on Insta more. And here).
BUT why buy my planters?
Well, you can use them with your nursery pots (see above photo). You can use them with clear pots (see below).
You can use them with grow mediums with varying degrees of success. They're on sale for 25 USD, and there are discounted bundles as well as, I cannot stress it enough, we have FREE US SHIPPING unless you need it, like, in two days, in which case we HAVE to charge. I'm sorry, but them's the rules.
I don't have international shipping right now. My apologies, but duties and international shipping is EXPENSIVE and I am a new baby business, ok, I gotta work my way up to it!
Anyway, I bet people are like, why have a BRAND Tumblr and my question to you is, why NOT? The overlap between planty people and tumblr people is surprisingly big and I want to reach as many people with my ideas/products as I can.
So go ahead and send asks if you like about 3D printing, houseplants, et cetera. I can't wait to talk with you all and plan on posting here lots!

I did it! I released my first shirt!
Introducing our Keep the (Monstera) Fire Burning long sleeve shirt, I wanted to create something comfy but not heavy as we finally make it out of winter and into spring. It's a reminder to keep ourselves warm but not burn ourselves out and, hopefully, keep our plants alive. Sometimes all we can do is one or the other, and that's okay.
And because I love to work with artists and give credit where it's due, and also because I can't draw and know it, Allison Shinsky is who created the leaf for my first shirt, and you can find her other work at her Etsy ArtByAlCo.
The model is 5ft 9in and wearing a size XL! I like a more slouchy fit so I tend to size up, for those curious. An L would have fit me just fine.
It doesn't matter what shape or size you are, everybody likes plants, and everybody deserves a shirt that fits. That's why I want to use unisex sizing. I'm are constantly striving to find providers to find sources for sizes on both ends of the spectrum. But for now, here's what is on offer for this first drop:
I've got a lot more ideas where this one came from if you all end up liking this. I love puns, visual and verbal and believe me, there are SO MANY IDEAS
Happy shopping!

Last April was horrid and started one of the hardest years of my life, this April I have my partner and these inflorescences to look forward to! Years of growing aroids in apartments and I have never have any go into reproductive state. Looking forward to the future for this plant and forward in my personal life, as well!
(Philodendron 'Henderson's Pride', which gave me hours of confusion as to the real name as the plant was sold to me with the common name P. 'narrow escape' - also known as 'tiger tooth' and 'jungle boogie'. It seems 'ring of fire' is used to refer to a variegated form. I am going with 'Henderson's Pride' because my specimen matches up with ones grown by Brian's Botanicals! I believe this is a cross of P. Wendlandii x P. Tortum!)
