Established in 2021, For My Planties is the brainchild of Brisbane based artist, Steff Evans. Her leafy love affair began in 2017 when she moved into a new apartment and became an instant plantie parent to dozens of luscious green potted gifts. Today, her babies occupy the best room in the house; a sun-drenched oasis dedicated to growing stylish and, often rare, indoor planties. Fifty individual offspring, countless succulents, an array of (struggling) herbs - and counting.  

“All I think about is planties. Right, that’s a lie.  I also think about pots. A LOT.” 

A beautiful pot is just as important as the plantie inside it – but falling in love with the right vessel in the correct size, happens less than you think. So, while adventuring in Vietnam, Steff stopped in Hanoi to enroll in a ceramic pottery course to learn how to throw pottery on the wheel. 

“If you think tackling a new skill is tough, try doing it in a language you don’t understand. Then lug a backpack full of pots and saucers from Hanoi to Brisbane! I have never been so careful with carry-on luggage in my life”.
