📖 Origin Story: A gift from my mum. She was almost completely destroyed after an encounter with my dog, but she refused to give up. Today she's thriving again, and seeing her finally start to trail feels like watching her write a new chapter.

🖤 Some plants are beautiful because they're rare. Others are beautiful because they're resilient. She's both.

Moving countries meant leaving most of my babies behind. Of the ones I could bring, not all of them made the journey.
But the ones that did — we've been through everything together. They've traveled with me, survived with me, grown with me.
And they are glorious. 🌿

This is what happens when you can't stop. 🌿
Started in 2019 during COVID. Five years later they've come from everywhere — Malaysia, my grandmother's garden, collectors, markets, trades. Some were scavenged on walks. I've taken cuttings from jungles and random gardens and watched them turn into full plants.
This is what five years of not stopping looks like."
