A pair of childhood friends and eventual post-college roommates once were uniquely interested in livening up their home with house plants. But they were disappointed when they found it hard to find a place online to purchase houseplants that was easy to navigate, and wasn’t just geared to wholesale.

First launching under the main House Plant Shop brand, House Plant Box monthly subscriptions followed not long after, in late 2018.
