Collection: Baby Plants

Is it true what they say – that making something tiny will make it cuter? While we don’t know for sure if that applies to everything, it certainly does apply with plants! Say hello to the youngest additions to the Pretty Cactus family – baby plants. All the giant, monstrous house plants you see online and in your friends’ homes had to start somewhere, and that is exactly what they are: house plants at their very youngest and very smallest versions of themselves. The thing about plants is unlike puppies & kittens, you can train them to remain their baby sizes forever!

Every single baby plant in our shop is in a pot 7cm or smaller, so you know these plants are as small as they can possibly get. Depending on your preference, you can surround yourself with small plants, or you can bring something home with the intention of watching it grow from a tiny sapling and give it the care it needs to grow into a full-grown centerpiece in your home.

These tiny plants can be kept in pots by themselves, or they can be incorporated into a larger container to grow alongside various other species. Our Echeveria babies do well planted with our shop favorite Monkey Tail Cactus! You could even create a living bouquet or container forest from our numerous different baby Peperomia or Calathea varieties. Foliage of this age is also the perfect size and shape to be incorporated into a terrarium. If you aren’t too familiar with those, take a look at our Make Your Own Terrarium Kits – they include everything you need to make your own terrarium at home and much more. Whatever your fancy, these adorable plant babies will be able to find the perfect spot in your house to make their fantastic new home.

We always carry a wide range of accessories for your brand-new plant babies! Handmade artisan small plant pots, unique, space-saving tiny plant hangers, and fun small plant stands to match any décor and personality are always being stocked and restocked in our store, so you can show off your new additions the moment you bring them home. These decorative pieces, paired with a baby plant, make wonderful gifts for any occasion – who wouldn’t want a tiny plant to take off to University with them, or bring home as a Christmas or birthday present?

At Pretty Cactus, the baby plants we keep in our store are sourced and imported from various growers all across the UK. Each one is hand-picked for their health, rarity, and beauty, by their original nurseries. All the wonderful plants we bring to you are chosen by us in small batches and given the best care  and attention until they find their way home to you!
