If youโ€™re reading this, it most likely means you are curious about how to start your plant care journey. Last week, we shared my favorite beginner-friendly house plant picks. Did you catch that? Well, letโ€™s talk about some great ways you can source and purchase your plants while quarantined at home.ย 

Feeding your new plant passion is so much easier than you think. Just because we are safely quarantining, does not mean that you cannot get your much needed plant fix.

  1. The Zen Succulent (โ€‹online and store): Modern day terrarium and plant craft business based in Durham, North Carolina
  2. Natty Garden (online and store): A plant nursery dedicated to contributing to the culture, throughโ€‹ positivity and plants based in Brooklyn, New York
  3. Grounded (โ€‹ online): Online plant nursery dedicated to helping you disconnect and decompress, in which this shop has a nice selection of plants that are sourced for specific benefits that support tranquility and mindfulness
  4. Planting with P (online): Plant marketplace for houseplants of all kinds, some of which includeโ€‹ popular succulents, rare philodendrons and more!ย 
  5. Isha Plants โ€‹ (online): A unique place to purchase houseplants, beginner plant care kits and a blog to read more about how to care for the plants you purchase
  6. Plant + Vessel โ€‹ (online and store): This isnโ€™t a place where you can purchase plants, but you can purchase ceramic planters and homegoods. This black-owned ceramics and pottery studio is based in Austin, TX
  7. Tennessee Tropicals (โ€‹ online and store): Retail nursery and online plant shop that specializes in rare, diverse high-quality plants
  8. My Crazy Plant Life โ€‹ (online): Online marketplace that specializes in rare and exotic house plants and cuttings
  9. Crazy Plant Bae (online): A dope space for plant obsessed folks to purchase plants, merch and toโ€‹ gain a wealth of knowledge via their newsletter

In addition to this list, my awesome Twitter followers have also provided me with another an extensive list! This one is of plant-centric, black owned companies that you should take some time to follow, research and purchase from!

Along with purchasing from online nurseries, another great way to source plants is through different Etsy shops. The ones that specialize in shipping plant cuttings and starter plants.

Another method of sourcing plants is through Facebook Marketplace. I know, right?ย  Donโ€™t forget plant enthusiast groups. This is where members send cuttings and rooted plants to fellow members.ย 

Another way that I have sourced plants and have built genuine friendships is through the creation of a group chat started by my friend Avamarie of AvaEatโ€‹s. Our history started when she told me that she hadโ€‹ another amazing friend, the sweet Zariel of ZariGee Made Thaโ€‹t. Zariel loved plants and also wanted to join the group chat.

Months later, we are creating a new brand called, Plant Bae Collective.

This happened after purchasing plants from purge groups, Etsy and swapping plants with one another!ย 

We are dedicated to collecting plants, knowledge and love to inspire and sprout baes around the world. We want to create plant connections to inspire people to learn their ancestral alignment to plants and the power they inspire within the home.

Please stay connected with us, to know when we officially launch our brand, website and social media handles!ย
