Meet the Grower °₊⟡⋆

Hi! I’m Michie, the plant lover behind La La Plants ♡ If you’ve been around on Instagram, you might know me as @hi_its_michie.

Every plant here is curated and grown with love, care, and maybe a little too much obsession ・ ༝ ・

Want to know how it all started? Read my story below ✦

Welcome to La La Plants. I’m really happy you found your way here ♡

My plant story actually started when I moved to Boston seven years ago (how time flies!)

I’m a tropical girl at heart, so it was a huge adjustment for me. I was used to warmth, greenery, and being outdoors, and suddenly I was dealing with long winters, bare trees, and months of cold gray weather. Somewhere along the way, indoor plants became my little escape.

It started innocently enough with a snake plant.

And then, you probably know how this story goes.

One plant became a few. A few became a collection. Then suddenly I was hunting down a Pink Princess, obsessing over variegated Monsteras, learning how to propagate everything, and getting way too excited every time a new leaf started unfurling.

Eventually I found Alocasias and Hoyas, and that was pretty much it for me. I fell completely in love with them.

✦ Life is better with plants and a little whimsy ✦

The name La La Plants was inspired by La La Land, one of my absolute favorite movies. I love how dreamy and hopeful it feels, and how much of it is about following the things you love. My version of La La Land just happens to be full of plants, pretty little things, and whatever makes everyday life feel a little more magical.

I hope this feels like a cozy little corner of the internet where you can look around, find something you love, and maybe leave with another plant you definitely deserve ♡
