The Plant Side Chick

06/02/2026

✨ FEATURED IN VOYAGELA MAGAZINE ✨

What started as a dream, a leap of faith, and a love for plants has grown into something I never imagined.

I am incredibly honored to share that The Plant Sidechick has been featured in VoyageLA Magazine! 🌿🦩

When I started this business, I wasn't just selling plants. I was creating something that reflected my passion for intentional living, beautiful spaces, design, and connection. Every plant arrangement, handmade concrete planter, crystal pairing, and custom piece is created with purpose and heart.

As many of you know, I balance a full-time career while building The Plant Sidechick during evenings, weekends, and at my Sunday pop-ups in Larchmont Village. This feature is a reminder that dreams grow when you keep showing up, even on the days when no one sees the work behind the scenes.

To every customer, supporter, friend, family member, and follower who has purchased a plant, shared a post, stopped by my booth, or encouraged me along the way thank you. You are part of this journey, and I couldn't have done it without you.

I'd love for you to read my story and learn more about the heart behind The Plant Sidechick.

Thank you for helping me grow. 🌿🩷

🌵✨ TEACHABLE MOMENT ✨🌵

Yes… even The Plant Sidechick has plant problems sometimes. 💗

My White Ghost Cactus caught a fungal infection from trapped moisture + poor airflow, and I wanted to share this because plant care is a learning experience for ALL of us even plant lovers who do this every day. 💚🌵🪴

🌱 Watch for soft spots or discoloration
🌱 Always use fast-draining soil
🌱 Good airflow matters more than you think
🌱 Sometimes healing means cutting the plant back to save it

Owning plants isn’t about perfection it’s about learning, growing, and loving them through every stage. 💕

High vibes. Healthy plants. Flamingo pink energy always. 🦩

Sundays at The Plant Sidechick are rarely “days off.” 🌿✨

They’re for mixing, molding, sanding, sealing, styling… and bringing every handmade concrete piece to life by hand. From the mess to the magic, this is a little behind-the-scenes look at the process that goes into creating pieces designed to elevate your space with high vibes and intentional living.

Every pot is handcrafted with love, patience, and purpose no two are ever exactly alike, and that’s the beauty of it. 🤍
