Our Story
Born in the guest bedroom of a downtown Detroit apartment in 2020, Rare Plant Fairy has quickly become Michigan’s premier grower of rare aroids and other exotic plants.
At Rare Plant Fairy, we believe every extraordinary plant holds the power to ignite joy and transform your space into a living sanctuary. We take pride in curating the largest selection of rare plants, each one carefully nurtured to arrive alive and thriving—a promise that goes far beyond the ordinary. Our dedication means we’re always exceeding expectations, ensuring that every interaction with our brand leaves you smiling.
But the magic of Rare Plant Fairy doesn’t stop at our plants. It lives in our vibrant community—a passionate network of plant enthusiasts who share tips, stories, and the simple delight of watching life bloom. Every plant becomes a symbol of sustainable beauty and ethical care, connecting us all in the pursuit of a happier, greener tomorrow.
Join us as we propagate happiness, one extraordinary plant at a time.
Our Commitment
Our mission is simple: protect the planet and empower our community. Rare Plant Fairy operates entirely on renewable energy through DTE Energy’s MIGreenPower program and offsets carbon due to shipping. Partnering with the Student Advocacy Center of Michigan, we host field trips and support the Check and Connect program in Detroit high schools to combat educational injustices. Our work has even been featured in Mitch Albom's The Heart of Detroit.
At RPF Labs, our in-house tissue culture lab, we clone endangered species like the ghost orchid —a breakthrough celebrated for its role in preventing poaching and educating the next generation of conservationists. Socially-driven missions are a cornerstone of how we operate as a business, member of the community, and environmental steward.
