For years, I couldn’t keep a plant alive—no matter how hard I tried. Even the “easy” ones gave up on me. But as it turns out, that struggle helped me grow, too. A few plants survived, and they ended up inspiring a whole collection of art that means more to me than I ever expected.
Finding Meaning in My Plant Fails
Like many of us, I started my plant journey with high hopes and low experience. I was a busy mom, juggling life, art, and family. I’d forget to water them or, honestly, love them a little too much into root rot. But I still loved having them around. And slowly, the ones that made it—my “miracle plants”—started teaching me something bigger. About patience. About resilience. And about how things grow in their own time.
The Ones That Thrived
Ms. Pothos was the first one to make me feel like maybe I wasn’t totally failing. She was easygoing, kept growing, and let me snip little pieces to put in jars all over the house. It felt like life was spreading around me, even in the middle of chaos.
Then came the Monstera. I found her on a quick trip to Lowe’s for electrical parts (go figure). I loved how bold and wild her leaves were. She lived in our office at first, but soon came home with me. Her cuttings became a kind of natural art—beautiful, simple, and lasting longer than any bouquet I’d ever bought.
Connecting Through Plants
As I started making plant-inspired art—and creating little wooden tags with uplifting words for fellow plant lovers—I realized I wasn’t alone. Some people are into flowers. Some are obsessed with plants. But we all feel something when we see them thrive.
My sister Jenny, for example, has a magical way with orchids. She hangs them in her home in El Salvador, and they bloom like they’re on vacation too. I haven’t figured them out yet myself, but maybe one day. These stories, these connections—they’re all part of what inspired this collection.
A Collection Rooted in Growth
This collection isn’t just about plants. It’s about life. About growing even when you feel like you're failing. About the quiet pride in keeping something beautiful alive. These designs are my reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to grow. You don’t need to have it all figured out to bloom. Just showing up is enough.
Closing:
Whether you’re a proud plant parent or still trying to keep one alive (been there!), I hope this collection speaks to you. I hope it reminds you that you’re growing, too—even if it doesn’t always feel like it.
