How we care for your plants

Our plants are a little different.

All Plantclub plants are potted using semi-hydroponics and a volcanic mineral substrate, not regular soil. This means they need less frequent watering, are more pest-resistant, and last longer than typical houseplants. Your dedicated plant expert visits every two weeks to water, mist, fertilise, prune, and replace any plants that aren't thriving.

Learn about our substrate system →
3× more water retention than soil
85%+ plants repurposed, not discarded
Bi-weekly care visits included
No peat, volcanic mineral substrate
