ABOUT US
Welcome to Welovetropicalplants!
At Welovetropicalplants, we are more than just a plant store—we are a passionate family dedicated to bringing the beauty and serenity of tropical plants directly into your home. Our story is rooted in love for nature, sustainability, and the joy that plants bring into our lives. Founded by Gianluca and Jana, we are a small but mighty team based in the picturesque village of Torre del Greco, located in the shadow of the majestic Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy.
For over two decades, Gianluca, an experienced agronomist, has been cultivating rare and exotic tropical plants. With his extensive knowledge of horticulture and a deep connection to the land, he has built a thriving greenhouse where plants are grown with love, care, and expertise. Gianluca is especially proud of his collection of orchids, Monstera, Philodendron, and Anthurium, carefully selected and nurtured to offer the most stunning and healthy specimens.
Jana, with her background in customer service, focuses on ensuring that every aspect of your shopping experience is delightful and memorable. From your first visit to our site to the moment your plants arrive at your door, she is here to help, offering expert advice, answering questions, and making sure every plant purchase feels personal and special.
We specialize in cultivating rare, high-quality plants that are hard to find elsewhere. Unlike large, impersonal commercial operations, we pride ourselves on our family-run business that is built on a deep understanding of tropical plant care and the desire to share our passion for these beautiful plants with others. Our plants come directly from our own greenhouses, where we control every aspect of the environment to ensure the healthiest, most vibrant plants possible.
At Welovetropicalplants, we believe that plants are more than just decorations—they are living beings that bring joy, fresh air, and a sense of tranquility to any space. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or new to the world of indoor plants, we have something for you. From our beloved Monstera Deliciosa Variegata and Philodendron Princess Pink to the mesmerizing Anthurium Crystallinum, each plant we offer has been carefully selected for its beauty, uniqueness, and ability to thrive in your home environment.
We are committed to sustainability and ethical practices. All of our plants are grown using natural methods. Our dedication to quality means that each plant you receive is as close to nature as possible, healthy, and ready to thrive in your home.
Our journey began with a simple idea—to create a space where plant lovers can come together to discover, appreciate, and share the joy of tropical plants.
