How we Started
Welcome to Runo Plants!
What started with just $200 and a dream in a small New York City apartment has grown into one of the largest online houseplant communities in the country. At Runo Plants, we believe everyone deserves access to beautiful, healthy plants regardless of their experience level.
Our journey began when we started selling plants locally through Facebook Marketplace while living in NYC. What started as a side project quickly turned into a passion, and before long, we packed up everything and moved to Homestead, Florida, to pursue our dream full-time. Today, Runo Plants operates from multiple greenhouses and has shipped hundreds of thousands of plants to plant lovers across the United States.
We specialize in healthy, high-quality houseplants ranging from beginner-friendly favorites to rare and exotic collector plants. Whether you're purchasing your very first pothos or adding a rare philodendron to your collection, we carefully select every plant before it leaves our greenhouse.
What makes us different?
🌿 Plant Quality First
Every plant is inspected before shipping. We work hard to ensure your plant arrives healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive in its new home.
📦 Professional Packaging
Shipping live plants requires experience. Our team has developed specialized packaging methods designed to protect your plants during transit. We secure soil, support stems, protect foliage, and carefully pack each order to minimize stress during shipping.
🌱 Real Plant People
We aren't a large corporate retailer. We're a family-owned business made up of genuine plant enthusiasts who live and breathe plants every day. Our team works directly in our greenhouses, caring for thousands of plants and helping customers find the perfect additions to their collections.
💚 Customer Focused
Our customers are the reason we've grown. We continually improve our plants, packaging, and processes based on customer feedback. We strive to provide excellent service before, during, and after every purchase.
🏡 From Apartment to Greenhouses
Our story is proof that small beginnings can grow into something incredible. From selling plants out of a tiny apartment in New York City to building a thriving greenhouse operation in South Florida, our mission has remained the same: provide amazing plants at fair prices while creating an exceptional customer experience.
Today, Runo Plants has become a trusted source for plant lovers nationwide. Whether you're shopping for a gift, decorating your home, growing your collection, or discovering your first houseplant, we're honored to be part of your plant journey.
Thank you for supporting our small business and allowing us to share our passion for plants with you.
Welcome to the Runo Plants family!
