The Problem


The indoor plant market is booming, yet consumers in emerging markets face significant friction:

  • Limited local selection — Physical nurseries offer narrow variety and inconsistent stock
  • No care guidance — Buyers receive no information on watering, light, or temperature needs
  • Fragmented shopping — Plants sold through unorganized social media posts with no search or cart
  • No mobile-first solution — Existing e-commerce is not optimized for the plant buying experience
  • Trust gap — No detailed photography or verified seller information before purchasing

Result: frustrated buyers, high plant mortality, and missed revenue for sellers.
