I was excited to check this place out. The location is cute, not as many plants as I expected, but still nice. The prices were a bit more on the higher side, but I was willing to pay as it was a black/brown owned business and I wanted to support. I am somewhat sadden to have the plant I purchased to already have some leafs turning yellow.. as it hadn't even been 5 days since I bought it. Now I know I don't have the best green thumb, but 5 days is kinda fast for even me for it to be dying. So, not sure I can continue to try and support sadly.
Love Love Love "The Plant Chica"!!! My daughter was referred by one of her friends to purchase a plant. It was so refreshing and just a touch of nature right in LA. I could actually just chill there the whole day that's how peaceful and beautiful it is. The plants are gorgeous and I really appreciated Sandra's knowledge about all the plants and how to care for them. I love to support black businesses! The prices are comparable to other nurseries. I will definitely be returning to purchase more plants! Keep doing what y'all are doing -- awesomeness!
This place is dope! So many plants for sale as well as cute flower pots. The owner was also super helpful and answered any questions we had. We purchased the Tropic Snow+ Peperomia Hope + Flower Pots with the little bottom water catcher and it cost $91.98. They do offer more affordable plants if you are interested. P.S. once i make room in my apartment I'm coming back to get me a monstera plant. It's super dope that the day we were there they were also using the space for a queer poetry reading event.
The selection is extensive and there is a good variety, the customer service is amazing. It's a little pricey, however the information and time spent speaking to you about plants and environmental factors is absolutely priceless!
I'm so happy I found this locally owned nursery!!!! I was so excited and happy with my two purchases that i came back same Day!! With my bf and we bought more! We talked a lot with Ben who was so so nice and helped us with plant care, tips etc. I love that it's black and brown owned! We also appreciate that Ben provided us with plant cards that give you tips on the origin of the plant and plant care! They also have a Plant care doc once a month where you can bring your plant and they can diagnose it for you! How cool is that!!! We'll definitely be back!
I've reviewed quite a few nurseries recently, but The Plant Chica has a special "homey" touch of love to it. This is probably the result of Ben and Sandra's care and presence! Plant Chica is on Jefferson, slightly past and behind Mel's Fish Shack. The sign is quite unassuming, so it's easy to overlook (see picture). I didn't see a parking lot for the shop, but there is plenty of street parking on either of the parallel streets. Their small little setup is a brilliant and fun. You have a variety of plants and sizes to choose from, and several large sizes as well! If I didn't already have a large Bird of Paradise and Dracaena, I would have been tempted to buy one here. I found the perfect English Ivy for around $30 after 25% off though, and it was plant love at first sight. There are also rare plants that range in pricing, so if you're a collector, here is a possible spot to check out. I will definitely be returning, even if it's just to support this sweet little business!
Such a friendly neighborhood house plant nursery with a great variety of options for your space! We loved chatting with Sandra about plant care and our mutual love for the city. Once you fall in love with a few plants, be sure to check out their beautiful selection of pots and options for hanging plants (I'm definitely going back for that macramé). Can't wait to also check out the community event calendar. Do yourself a favor and follow @theplantchica on Instagram for updates.
Kyle was amazing helping me pick a new plant for my classroom. He showed me different options and told me what kind of care the plant would need. There was no pressure and I felt confident that I could take care of this beauty. The ambiance was calm, peaceful, and overall beautiful. Kyle also showed me what the plant would look like inside a new pot because eventually I would have to buy one. To make it easier for myself, I ended up buying a pot, PLUS he fixed it up and added the soil. I named this beauty Monè! I'm definitely coming back for more plants! Plant Chica has it all
Today was my first visit to The Plant Chica after realizing I only work 2 mins away. I've followed their journey through Instagram for awhile and I was happy to get to meet Sandra in person. First, let me say how wonderful it is to have a plant oasis in the area. Second, it is Black and Brown owned and I will ALWAYS go the extra mile to support my Brown/Black brothers and sisters in this life. I live in Glendale and get to go to all kinds of plant stores at all times. So it is refreshing to be able to visit a well curated store in this area of Los Angeles. It is desperately needed here and you can tell Sandra is proud of her city and it was important for her to have her business here as well. Now the deets: great plant selection, also a great selection of rare plants if you like to indulge in the finer green tings. Green house space is large and open for all their events. Prices are in line with most other nurseries. If you live in the area and want to spend your hard earned money on plants, then come meet Sandra and support her business while you plantify your life! I know where I will be going during my lunch hour often now - ay yay yay!
Today was my second visit and love this plant shop! It's BIPOC owned and my favorite is the juxtaposition of the greenery displayed in a metal building that was previously a car mechanic garage. So cool! I learned that off of their Instagram, which you should follow for all their free events :) I really appreciate that they give back to the community as well like "Adopt a Plant Day" and a night market supporting other local BIPOC vendors/artists! A previous reviewer said their prices are not justifiable "given the quality and location" but all I saw were great quality shiny new plants that I wanted to take home and add to my collection. The idea that this shop should charge less because of where they are located doesn't make any sense. As a Latina myself I feel like they deserve all the business they can get and very much deserve to claim the space they have - especially on Jefferson where things are changing. Pricing to me was justifiable and relatively the same to what I've seen in other shops. Rare plants are more than triple the price on Etsy or sellers online in comparison. Today I picked up two philodendron micans aka velvet heartleaf philodendron and one hoya Hindu rope! I can't believe I have these in my collection now when they were impossible to find in person a year ago. These were not rare plant pricing just regular pricing. I love the rare beauties, but I have patience to wait it out for when they're more readily available. It makes it more exciting for me to randomly run into them in stores some time later! They've had great customer service every time I've visited so I'm more than happy to spend my money here, go back, and support Sandra THE Plant Chica and her family! These are the dollars that matter most to me :)
I've been to tons of plant shops on the Westside and this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST. The prices are some of the most affordable you'll find in all of LA and I love any opportunity to support a BIPOC-owned business, so this place is perfect for me. Sandra is so kind and helpful, plus her plant cards that come with each new baby are above and beyond what any other shop does. Can't recommend them enough!! Such a wonderful addition to our community :) PS. Check out their IG for community-wide events! I'll be bringing all of my friends to the next one. Their outdoor event space is so cute and welcoming.
This was more of a recon mission for myself. I'm trying to decide what I want and where I'm going to put them. It was my first time and the plants were BEAUTIFUL. They didn't have any sad or limp leaves. Nothing was torched. Everything is well loved and it makes me happy to know I'm supporting a local business. I'll be back soon with my plan!
WOW! A hidden little gem. Great to shop while waiting for food next door at Mel's Fish Shack. Very rare indoor and outdoor plants. You can not tell from the outside, enter the green house and be prepared for a nice surprise. The owner, Sandra, welcomed me and took time to answer my questions. I wasn't expecting to buy anything, but this strange Hanging Turtle pant just kept calling me LOL. Very nice shop, I felt an immediate calm upon entering. There's a wonderful selection of plants, great music. I'll definitely be back once I move into a new place. I'll be grabbing some tall outdooplants/trees!

What a beautiful way to add energy to the community!! I stopped by the greenhouse for an event today to grab a free plant. All the workers/volunteers were exceptionally kind and there was still a lovely plant selection late in the afternoon. In addition to the free plants they had lots of other items for purchase. Thanks for the joy that you bring to the community! read more

I went here for "Plant Bingo" and it was my first time. I had such a great time playing bingo with beans and winning plants! The owner was pretty down to earth & she let us know about several other black owned businesses in the area for food, herbs & teas, clothing and etc. The host was great and kept us entertained I won a beautiful prayer plant and everyone that was there received a complementary spider plant for purchasing a ticket which was about $34 I think. She has a beautiful selection of plants so go check her out and hopefully she'll do another Plant Bingo soon! read more
Plant Chica is a tranquil, healing oasis that our community has long needed and truly deserves. Walking into this space feels like stepping into a lush sanctuary, filled with vibrant plant babies just waiting to bring life into your home. I recently attended the Full Moon Plant Potting event, and it was exactly what my spirit needed--so grounding, peaceful, and intentional. The energy of the space, combined with the warmth and knowledge of the Plant Chica team, made it a truly special experience. The team is helpful, and patient. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting your journey, this is the place to stop by and soak in the good vibes and bring home some new green friends! read more

I just want to share with anyone who will listen, the Plant Chica is a touch of heaven in the center of town. I appreciate being able to come my local plant shop and purchase a pothos or a super rare, highly sought after pink princess. The shop is a beautiful boutique vibe and the quality of staff and plants is top shelf. Every time I leave there, I'm more excited about my next visit. I pick up a quick plant for the bathroom or one for a gift, and the fact I can get there in a couple of minutes is everything! Thank you, thank you thank you, for sharing paradise with us! I love the Plant Chica! read more
Stumbled upon this cute plant shop in Culver City based off of other Yelp reviews and so glad we did! It's located off of Jefferson Blvd. right behind Mel's Fish Shack with plenty of street parking. We were the first customers of the day greeted by Tim and omg he was awesome!! He was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. He was knowledgeable and kept checking in on us. He told us about the couple who owned it and we love supporting small businesses especially owned by BIPOC! Everything that day was 25% off so we got a couple beautiful, hanging marble pothos that were already vining. Tim told us they always have some discounts going on so follow their Instagram or just ask when in store. They had a cute area outside of the "greenhouse" that had pots and plants that needed "TLC" (tender, loving care) according to Tim and that section was free! Crazy! They also had a little book nook which I assumed was like a take one, leave one kind of thing. They had a large table of "rare" plants and their prices reflected it but were also included in the discount! Me, not being super knowledgeable of plants but wanting to be, dared not let my black thumb touch them. I'll definitely be back, probably today, to get more of those beautiful pothos and they had a good selection of large plants too which I've been eyeing. read more

I've been a fan of Sandra since 2019/2020 when she had a humble plant shop from a home. Over the years I've bought countless plants and my Plant Chica plants grow the best!! This is an overdue review!! This shop is more than a business it's a community ground. Always an awesome selection and friendly faces around. I really enjoy the brightness this location puts to the area. I feel happy when I'm here! Thank you for bringing us joy and an awesome space of nature! read more

Every time I've stopped by I've taken home a gorgy hun of a plant. The people there are super friendly and helpful. They give you tips on watering and a little card with fun fact and details of your specific plant type. It's located on the corner of Jefferson & Farmdale behind Mel's Fish Shack. The entrance is on Farmdale. Lots of street parking. Did I mention everyone there is nice?! Swing by. Truly a gem. read more

I finally stopped by here today after having heard about this local plant shop for months if not a year now. I needed an Xmas present for an aunt who loves plants and wanted something new for my place. The owner was very nice and gave me several suggestions. I settled on something I thought would look good in my aunt's place and got a Calatheas for myself. The Plant Chica includes care cards with info on each plant so you don't have to worry once you get home how to care for your new plants. Highly recommend and will be going back read more
