People always ask why their orchid or houseplants suddenly start thriving after a repot, and honestly, it’s because soil is the entire foundation of plant care.

If you didn’t know, we have our own branded orchid bark and potting soil because after years of helping customers troubleshoot plants in-store, we realized most people are working with soil that’s compacted, old, or holding way too much moisture.

Healthy roots make healthy plants!

There’s something about a Ficus Audrey in a New York townhouse that just feels right.

We installed this one in a beautiful Upper West Side space by , which was featured on the 2025 AD100 list by .

The soft light, the texture, the height of the tree…it’s one of those reminders that plants really do change the feeling of a home. Especially in the city, where we’re all craving a little more softness wherever we can find it.

Swipe for outdoor gardening ASMR 👉

It’s finally backyard season at our West Village location, and it’s truly one of our favorite things about this store. It almost makes you forget you’re in the city for a second. We can’t think of a better way to spend your Sunday than taking a stroll over to see if anything catches your eye.

Warning, though! You will absolutely leave wanting, at the very minimum, an outdoor terrace.

No backyard? No problem. 🌳

The Jade bonsai is the perfect plant to have in the city. They can live happily indoors, grow slowly (so it won’t take over your apartment), and get more beautiful as they age.

Here’s all it needs to thrive:

🌱 Bright, indirect light! A windowsill works great
💧 Let the soil dry out fully between waterings
✂️ Prune regularly to encourage branching and shape
🔄 Rotate occasionally for even growth

Your own little tree, right in your living room!

New pots & planters just landed at The Old Yew. Help us choose… we’re already emotionally attached to all of them. 🫣

Time to repot? 🌿 Here are a few signs your plant is asking for more space:

• Roots growing through the drainage holes
• Water rushing straight through the soil
• Growth slowing during spring or summer
• Soil drying out unusually fast
• Plant feeling top-heavy in its pot

Best time to repot:
Spring through early summer, when plants are actively growing and recover fastest from the move.

We also offer repotting services in-store. Bring your plant in, and we’ll handle the messy part.
