Unique Flora
Flora Foundry is proud to share our collection of flora, a labor of love spanning two decades. We feature a collection of plant species from around the world with a known history of vigor, resilience, and flexibility to environmental factors. We have a long standing relationship with all of our plant species and cultivar, bringing only the strongest plant specimens to your home.
Foundation of love
Flora Foundry has taken the road less traveled, offering a larger, more established plant than is normally available through nurseries and boutique plant shops. Mature plants with better root systems travel better and acclimate faster to their new homes. Each plant is grown in our custom aroid planting mix made with 87% renewable industrial byproducts and designed to supply the prefect air to water holding ratio. Planted in eco-friendly pots and matching saucers, our plants are doing their part to reduce the use of petroleum products while supplying you with a beautifully designed, simple, and stylish container for your favorite plants.
Flora Foundry
All Flora Foundry plants carry our ZeroMile promise. The overarching majority of plants on the market travel a minimum of 5,000 miles and change hands multiple times. During these travels the growing conditions are never ideal, incurring unnecessary stress to the plants. Our ZeroMile promise means that we do not flip or resell plants. All our plants are grown onsite and cultivated with the utmost care and technique in our solar greenhouse located in Denver, Colorado.
100% Peat Free
While peat moss remains a mainstay with virtually all garden centers, growers, and boutiques, its environmental impact and lackluster performance should make most people think twice. Peat moss is the partially decomposed remains of formerly living sphagnum moss mined from bogs. Yes, peat moss is a renewable resource, but it can take hundreds to thousands of years to form. Like all precious wetlands, peat bogs purify fresh air and even mitigate flood damage. While the biggest problem with peat moss is that it’s environmentally bankrupt, its effectiveness as a growing substrate is also less than desirable. It is nearly impossible to rewet, as it repels water, making it a terrible soil amendment. Furthermore, it breaks down too fast, compressing and squeezing air out of the soil, creating an unhealthy condition for root growth. Flora Foundry uses a peat and thereby guilt free growing medium by using 87% renewable industrial byproducts. Our planting mix supplies your plant with the perfect air to water holding ratio preventing over watering while still offering an abundant supply of carbon essential for biological soil ecology.
