hello everyone today we are here with Haley and Ryan owners of Flora Factory and they’re going to tell us a little bit about their shop and what they have in store for you all so Haley or Ryan can you kind of give us some information about how this shop started and how it came to be go ahead so uh actually we both have been interested in plants for a really long time we love the joy that plants bring to a house and we just have always kind of wanted to be able to share that with people uh Ryan went to has a horiculture degree and I also went to college I used to be a high school science teacher so I did teach some plants and propagation classes and so we figured The Next Step would be to kind of bring that joy that we have uh to the people of Sarah Vista so that’s that’s why we’re here cuz we think that everybody deserves plants and anybody can be a plant person and you just have to come in and talk to us and we’ll help you out when did you guys start this process of opening the store um and how has the process been for you up till now well well I mean carser brought us here yeah I work at I also work at carer caverns and so that was what originally brought us here and we basically fell in love with the town we fell in love with the people of the community we absolutely love the mountains we love the scenery here and we realized that there was kind of a lack of a small plant store like this and there was lots of people who love plants and so it started started we started actually last May so we have been in this building since last May uh the store opened in July and we’ve just been kind of going ever since and to my understanding all these plants are indoor plants is that right um most of them we we do carry uh our fair share of succulents cuz you know we’re in the desert so we have to have a few succulents and Cactus so those can kind of go outside um but for the most part the things that we do carry right now are indoor plants that we think are mostly easy to maintain easy to take care of and we’re just here to help you get those going can you show us around and kind of show us some cool plants that you guys have in store for us yeah absolutely so one of my favorites actually right now are our filad dendrin Brazil’s because these these plants are super forgiving uh they grow actually really fast you can see this one has a lot of new leaves on it and it’ll just kind of fill out and it’ll get big but you can also see that it’s got the Beautiful variegation on the leaves and so you get that variegation but in an easy to maintain plant so filad dendrin Brazil probably one of my favorites um as we come on over here though if you like something that’s a little more like a fern um a little little more water is needed for this one but this is a kangaroo Fern it’s got lots of New Growth the the leaves are super cute when they come in and we just we really love that one um if you’re looking for something a little bit bigger we do have a huge poos right now poos are also uh really forgiving easy to maintain easy to propagate poos are a great kind of starter plant but also great for anybody what do you what do you want to add they’re all I like them all um our our IV are just doing exceptionally well right now uh they are just they’re ready to just kind of fill an area small area big area if you would like uh there’s they’re trailing they’re trailing everywhere they’re happy uh other than that um our syngoniums are doing really well uh actually uh these are syngoniums over here uh Arrowhead Vine uh these are just their loveing life right now um some of my favorite plants right now awesome yeah you guys have a our little our our airplanes very nice what would you guys say is the most popular plant that you guys have that sells pretty pretty rapidly oh that’s a hard question cuz it kind honestly it kind of depends on the week really it’s kind of funny because right now it seems like our hanging plants the the hanging plant area is a little bit is a little bit sparse just because but we’re going to be restocking that this week um so hanging plants seem to be popular U monsteras which we don’t we actually just sold the last last one um honestly the the little ferns like this are really great but it it does it really just kind of depends it’s been an interesting trip it’s been an interesting journey to
