About the Studio
Philosophy
This studio exists to connect people with plants that thrive in indoor environments. We focus on species adapted to the particular conditions of Canadian homes—lower light during winter months, consistent indoor temperatures, and the dry air common in heated spaces.
Our approach is observational and practical. We select plants for their ability to adapt, their visual interest, and their compatibility with typical living spaces. Each plant comes with context about its natural habitat, growth patterns, and the environmental cues that inform care decisions.
We avoid therapeutic claims, wellness promises, or guarantees about plant performance. Instead, we provide straightforward information about light, water, and environmental needs, allowing you to make informed choices about plant selection and care.
Curatorial Approach
Our collection emphasizes foliage variety—plants chosen for leaf shape, texture, variegation patterns, and growth habits. From delicate ferns to substantial philodendrons, each plant brings distinct visual interest to indoor spaces.
We prioritize small to medium-sized plants suited for shelves, tables, and floor displays. These sizes work well in typical home environments and allow for flexible arrangement and rearrangement as your collection grows.
Seasonal availability influences our selection. Spring and summer bring increased variety as growers produce more plants. Fall and winter focus on species that adapt well to lower light and cooler indoor temperatures.
Care Guidance
We provide informational care guidance based on observation and practical experience. Our instructions focus on light assessment, watering practices, and environmental considerations.
Each plant's needs are explained in context—why certain conditions matter, how to recognize signs of health or stress, and how to adjust care routines based on seasonal changes.
We encourage learning through observation. Plants communicate their needs through visible signs. Regular attention helps you understand your specific plant's patterns and preferences.
Studio Environment
Our physical space reflects our approach—calm, organized, and focused on plant display. Plants are arranged on natural wood surfaces, positioned to show form and texture.
Light filters through windows, creating shifting patterns throughout the day. This natural lighting helps us assess how plants respond to different light conditions, informing our recommendations for home placement.
Visitors are welcome to observe plants in this environment, ask questions about care, and discuss plant selection for their specific spaces. We believe seeing plants in person helps with selection decisions.
Ethical Considerations
We work with growers who prioritize healthy root systems and gradual plant acclimation. We avoid plants that show signs of stress, pest damage, or overwatering.
Our sourcing practices emphasize sustainability and ethical growing methods. We support suppliers who understand the transition from greenhouse to home environment and who provide plants that are well-established and ready for indoor life.
We are transparent about plant origins, care requirements, and what to expect as plants adapt to new environments. No plant is guaranteed to thrive, but we provide the information needed to give each plant the best chance of success.
