Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Dark Red Mandala® Kalanchoe redefines the classic flowering houseplant with its exceptionally profuse and long-lasting floral display. Bred to be naturally compact without chemical regulators, it forms a perfect, rounded mound blanketed in deep red blooms. For indoor spaces or sheltered patios in the Bay Area, it delivers months of vibrant, carefree color.

Boasts a massive display of five-petaled, deep scarlet-red flowers that densely cover the plant, creating a stunning "ball of color" effect.
Features glossy, dark green, succulent leaves with gently scalloped edges, forming an attractive backdrop even when not in bloom.
Exhibits a naturally dwarf, self-branching, and uniform habit without the need for growth regulators; stays neatly contained in its pot.
Offers an exceptionally long blooming period indoors or in bright shade; deadheading spent flowers encourages repeat blooming cycles.
Thrives on neglect; highly drought-tolerant and prefers the "dry out thoroughly between waterings" routine, making it perfect for busy plant lovers.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How do I get it to rebloom?
A: After the initial bloom fades, cut back the flower stalks, provide bright indirect light, and allow it a short rest period with slightly less water. Resume regular care, and it will often set buds again with the increasing daylight of spring.

Q: Can it live outdoors in the Bay Area?
A: Yes, but with caution. It thrives outdoors in bright shade or morning sun on a sheltered patio during the frost-free months (spring-fall). It is not frost-tolerant and must be brought indoors if temperatures approach 40°F (4°C).

Q: Why are the leaves getting soft and yellow?
A: This is almost always a sign of overwatering. Ensure the pot has drainage holes and let the soil dry out completely before watering again. It's far more tolerant of dry soil than wet.
