For Phaan

Hey Phaan, how are you? These are plants I’ve carefully selected that I believe will thrive under your care in Baltimore.

As we get closer to the winter months, I know one of the biggest challenges in Baltimore is limited indoor light. Each of these plants has been chosen with that in mind — they’re resilient, adaptable, and comfortable with lower light levels while still bringing vibrant energy indoors.

Some are smaller for now, giving them time to acclimate naturally to your environment. Take your time exploring each one — just click on a plant below to learn more about its story, care notes, and background.
