About

Adi with a Philodendron plowmanii. Large green leaves.

Mabuhay my planty friends! Come on into Mabuhay Plants, a little shop of tropical houseplants and such. I am Adi, a life-long plant enthusiast. I’ve devoted time and space in the name of love and flora from around the world and I’d love to share with you.

Where did “Mabuhay Plants” come from? I chose Mabuhay as an homage to my mother, April. “Mabuhay” is a Filipino greeting, my favorite translation being, “long live!” It is fervent encouragement, it is upbeat and sanguine; it is a delight to have you and I hope you stay awhile. 

It is a magical thing to bring nature indoors, give her care and watch her flourish.
