    Co-Owner Sandra and her employee.
    Sheryl T.

    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!

    Beautiful interior

    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!

    two philodendron micans aka velvet heartleaf philodendron soooooo pretty!
    Sandra M.

    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 :)

    all the plants in the shop are soooo healthy and happy
    Kavitta G.

    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!

    Robbin R.

    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!

    My new philodendron birkin!
    Katherine P.

    I love this place! The space has such a great neighborhood-y vibe and the people are so friendly. You can tell the owners love what they do and it's great how they give back to the community, hosting special events and promotions. They offer a wide variety of plants, from your standard common plants to the rarer types (I want you, monstera albo!).

    Ask the Community - The Plant Chica

    Do they offer repotting?

    Yes, if you buy the pots from our shop :)

    Looking for bamboo privacy at least 4 feet tall?

    I did see bamboo and other tall plants in the back. Not quite 4 feet though. Give them call.

    Is there parking available?

    There's a lot of parking on the street. I came on a weekend and was able to park right in front no problem.

Chris was extremely kind, was welcoming in his approach and also very helpful in getting everything to my car. Thank you Chris! This nursery hands down has become my favorite one in LA -- this is how you do a plant experience. Buy your plants here, you and your wallet will be glad you did!

    "Oh, Mickey…read more.. You're so fine! You're so fine, you blow my mind! Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!" Mickey Hargitay Plants is the coolest little big plant store, plant nursery, garden center and serene landscaping places I've ever seen. From the pure vibrant vibes to the incredible staff that make this gem thrive. Tucked away in Hollywood on the cusp of West Hollywood off of Sycamore Ave and Fountain Avenue, just a small skip east from La Brea Avenue. They're open from 9 AM until 5:30 PM all 7 days of the week. And carry plants, planters, gardening essentials and wonderoud things of all shapes and sizes. I've been passing by frequently for nearly two months on my way to work usually before they're open or after they're closed on as I make my way home and finally got to stop in and explore. That wave of calm, relaxation and vibrance that being around nature and all it's planty goodness lives here in abundance. Explore in person, place orders for pick up or even delivery. Mickey Hargitay has a rich history to match it's ambiance since it's birth in 1980, starting off with succulents, cacti and their own macrame designs Voted one of the best places to buy plants in 2015. Featured in the L.A. Times in 2016. Featured in Voyage LA in 2021. Not to mention a great spotlight in 2025. Founded and owned by Mickey Hartigay Jr. a fellow Sag and plant lover like myself. He and every single person here is a gem, I picked up on nothing but good energy even after the end of a long day and rainy weekend everyone here does their best to bring a slice of joy to each person. Ringing up my assortment right as they were closing they still didn't miss a beat. Hoping to stop in a lot more (scheduling pending) and get to know everyone, find more plants for the house as well as a new plant for my boyfriends place of even bring him in to explore. Pup friendly. Family friendly And very much open to all. Recently started following their Insta and I'm "obsessulated!" Easy parking in the neighborhood, street parking primarily or an easy stroll in closeby, riding the metro or parked off La Brea. Four new very healthy plants in various sizes for under $20... Insert all the heart eyes and plant emojis here!!
