Plantsages – Rooted in Culture, Grown with Care
Plantsages is a small, family-run nursery based in sunny Sorrento, Florida, specializing in rare, tropical, and culturally significant plants from around the world. What began as a passion project rooted in our founder’s childhood on a farm in India has grown into a thriving small business that brings joy, flavor, and a touch of the exotic to gardens and homes across the U.S.
Our mission is simple: to connect people with plants that tell a story. Whether it’s the sweet, aromatic Lacatan banana from the Philippines, the eye-catching red Cuban banana, or the flavorful true cardamom, every plant we grow is hand-selected for its cultural value, uniqueness, and growing potential. We’re not just selling plants — we’re preserving tradition, sparking curiosity, and helping you grow something meaningful.
Our journey began when our founder, a horticulturist with a Ph.D. in environmental horticulture, wanted to bring the tropical plants of his heritage to American soil. What started with a few banana pups and a love for propagation quickly grew into a small greenhouse operation — and now, a beloved shop with thousands of loyal customers. Our most popular items are the Lacatan banana plants, known for their rich, deep-yellow fruit and exceptional flavor, and vanilla orchid plugs, which offer a chance to grow your own spice at home.
At Plantsages, everything is done with care — from hand-packing each plant with recycled materials to providing easy-to-follow growing guides for beginners and collectors alike. We understand that for many customers, this isn’t just about gardening — it’s about reconnecting with childhood memories, growing their own food, or building something beautiful in a small backyard space.
We’re proud to offer healthy, pesticide-free plants that are grown sustainably and shipped with love. And when you shop with us, you’re not supporting a big-box nursery — you’re supporting a real family, passionate about plants, community, and sharing knowledge.
We hope you find something here that makes you smile, grow, and maybe even remember where you came from.
