Plantsie Inc - Calgary, Alberta

The badass . Among my friends, i’m voted most likely to walk away from an explosion without looking back. I live by my own code and I'm unwilling to compromise who i am for the comfort or approval of others. Instead, i answer to a power that is deep within myself. I ultimately do what i want, when i want. I am a beautiful evergreen vine with lush foliage. Some may say i come on a little too strong because I'm a fast grower who can take over an area pretty quickly, but that's just my way of showing you that you're taking great care of me and that I'm happy in my new home.

The Free Spirit Namaste. I am a self-proclaimed spiritual gangster. I like to go with my own flow. I am self-aware and like to do things that feed my soul. I believe you attract the energy that you give off. So I like to spread good vibes, think positively and enjoy life. Surprisingly, I am a type of succulent. My leaf colour changes like a chameleon; green in low light and purple when exposed to brighter light. Keep my soil slightly moist and only water me from the bottom. Please keep me consistently moist, even during the winter.

The Superstar I’m a determined and highly motivated. I face any challenge with a positive attitude and willingness to learn. I have an extremely high work ethic and a desire to succeed at everything I do. Simply put, I get sh*t done. I have hair-like leaves that grow from the top of my trunk like a ponytail, giving me my renowned name. However, I am neither a palm nor a tree, but a type of succulent. I have a bulbous trunk where I store water.

The Adventurer Buckle up! We’re about to start one amazing adventure together. I am always ready to experience something new. I like to live “outside of the box” and push the limits of social convention. I’m ready to explore the path less travelled…are you up for it? If you were looking for an easy-care, attractive and fast-growing houseplant, then here I am. Despite my similar name, I am not related to the larger rubber plant, and do not produce latex, only smiles.

I have an extremely high work ethic and a desire to succeed at everything i do. Simply put, i get sh*t done. My feathery cascading branches make me a favourite choice for garlands, wreaths and bridal bouquets but I'm hoping our relationship is different. Maybe something a little more casual.

The survivor. Life can sometimes deal us a less than perfect hand, and i’m sorry to hear that might be the case for you. But i know that together we will get through this. Life is tough, but we are tougher! I have long, narrow, dark green leaves with saw-tooth edges. My lower foliage bears a strong resemblance to the marijuana plant, but, no relation. I enjoy lots of indirect bright light, just keep me out of direct sun, as it can cause my leaf tips and edges to turn brown.

The unifier. Improving local lives is my jam. But no single plant, or person, can do it alone. I love bringing people together because (re)united, we make the biggest difference. I’m passionate about my community and love to inspire others. Just think what we can do when we all come together—the swell of social change we can create when we are united. It gives me goose bumps. If you were looking for an easy-care, attractive and fast-growing houseplant, then here i am. Despite my similar name, i am not related to the larger rubber plant, and do not produce latex, only smiles.

The collaborator. When it comes to collaboration, I'm your plant. I’m passionate about making a positive impact and there is so much good that can be done right here in our city if we work together. I have networks and know how to connect the dots to make a difference. As they say—teamwork makes the dream work! That's right, in my native environment i am the plant that grows your morning coffee beans. Although it’s unlikely i will produce berries inside, my attractive shiny green foliage will liven up any interior space. So sit back, grab a java and let's get to know each other.

The Lucky One Do you believe in luck? Some people say that I am lucky, but personally, I think luck is created by having a positive attitude and believing in yourself. Either way, I think both of our lives are about to get better. My leaves layer on top of each other, giving me the appearance of large green coins—hence my nickname the money plant. I am thought to bring good fortune, money, and abundance to my owner. I produce lots of babies that may be given away so am also sometimes referred to as the ‘friendship plant’.

There are not enough “just because” moments in life. You know, the ones that bring a smile to your face when you least expect it and can turn a day from bad to good. Just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you and that I appreciate you. Hope you have an awesome day!

New Home. New Plant. May your new home be a place where you feel safe and secure. A place that is your own, and where you feel the most like yourself. A place that always feels better to come back to than to leave. And a place where you dance in the kitchen like nobody is watching. Congrats on your new home! I'm a Sprengeri Fern. My feathery cascading branches make me a favourite choice for garlands, wreaths and bridal bouquets but I'm hoping our relationship is different. Maybe something a little more casual.

Thank You Thank You. Thanks. Gràzie. Merci. Dánke. Arigato. Cheers. Gracias. Mahalo. Tack. Diolch. Spasibo. Salamat. Dhanyavaad. Miigwech. Obrigada. Shukraan. Thank you so much, in every single way. I am a Dwarf Umbrella Plant Janine. I am fairly adaptable plant if you keep me well watered, provide me with lots of bright light and give me an occasional shower to clean my leaves. Speaking of leaves, mine are beautifully splashed with a soft cream variegation. Lots of bright light will help me maintain my colour. I am a true dwarf grower so won’t ever outgrow my space.

Just Cause There are not enough “just because” moments in life. You know, the ones that bring a smile to your face when you least expect it and can turn a day from bad to good. Just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking of you and that I appreciate you. Hope you have an awesome day! I'm a Baby Rubber Plant.

Thinking of You These times are never easy. Saying goodbye is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in all the special memories you shared. For as long as there is a memory, they live in our hearts forever. Very sorry for your loss. Sending you comfort and love. I'm a coffee plant. That's right, in my native environment I am the plant that grows your morning coffee beans. Although it’s unlikely I will produce berries inside, my attractive shiny green foliage will liven up any interior space. So sit back, grab a java and let's get to know each other.

Time to Celebrate Birthdays are our yearly reminder to celebrate our life. And YOU are definitely worth celebrating! Hope the year ahead is the best yet, and your day is filled with love and laughter, and of course cake. Lots and lots of cake! Happy Birthday! I'm a Janet Craig Plant. I have long sword-shaped, dark green leaves. I am a very popular plant for homes and offices, probably because I thrive on neglect, grow well in low light and need very little water. I can grow pretty tall, so I also make a striking floor plant.

Tis the Season May your holidays be filled with happiness, health and good cheer. Wishing you the very best this season and the coming year. Happy Holidays! That's right, in my native environment I am the plant that grows your morning coffee beans. Although it’s unlikely I will produce berries inside, my attractive shiny green foliage will liven up any interior space. So sit back, grab a java and let's get to know each other.
