Behind the Plants
About us
We are an online plant retailer and plant tissue culture laboratory, nestled in the heart of the Welsh countryside, in the historic town of Caerphilly. Founded in 2015 by Elena Kudelya, a life-long horticulturalist, we provide professional micropropagation services to the whole of the UK.
We grow and sell the finest quality plants in our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, using the latest techniques and the best possible tissue cultures to ensure that every plant we grow is in peak physical condition. We also offer contracting services to the micropropagation industry, as well as a full range of customer support to our customers.
Our product range includes live aquarium plants, succulents, houseplants, palms, exotics, bonsai, garden plants and ornamental grasses, among others.
We specialise in rare and hard to find plants that you simply will not find anywhere else.
