Thank You, Dyanna: Barter Is the Way to Grow

It was such a joy meeting up with Dyanna—kind, thoughtful, and full of insight about plants. She’s the kind of person you can talk with for hours, effortlessly blending care with curiosity. Our exchange wasn’t just about trading plants; it was about connection, shared knowledge, and the love of growing things that bring us calm and joy.

Barter and Growing Together

Today, we traded a few favorites from our collections. I shared my Medusa Plant “Draka”, Sansevieria Sayurii “Lanza”, and a Regal Shield, while Dyanna offered her Philodendron Dragon Tail, Alocasia Purple Sword, Alocasia Silver Sword, and a bonus Brazilian Philodendron. Each plant carried its own story, and together they became part of something larger—an exchange rooted in trust, laughter, and shared growth.

We joked about the fine line between “hoarding” and “horticulture,” realizing that passion makes collectors out of all of us. What made this meeting special wasn’t just the plants, but the conversation—the way it flowed with curiosity and warmth. It’s rare to meet someone so genuinely knowledgeable and generous with their insight.

TY Dyanna

Your energy and kindness made this barter feel effortless and fun. I’m truly excited to see how Draka, the last of the Mohicans, thrives in your care. You have a gift for helping plants reach their fullest form—strong, rooted, and radiant.
