Plant’It Earth

I had a great experience coming to Plant’IT Earth. The staff was very nice and helped me find everything I needed. They even made sure I knew how to harvest my basil properly and potted a few of my plants I purchased that day. After discussing some of my troubled plants at home, they told me I could bring any plant in and they would help me pot them in the store.
Overall I recommend this place for your plant/​garden needs.

I just went in there this morning to get a gift for my sister and I was so impressed. I was greeted nicely by a girl when I walked in, and rung up by the sweetest guy. I picked out a nice little plant, a pot, and a dish. I was just going to set the plant in the pot and give it to my sister like that but the guy working offered to re-​pot the plant for me right then and there and gave tips on how to take care of it. In the end it was all under $ 20 (you get to pick out a free card too but I had already bought a card at a different store)
Great place to get a gift for someone!

My first time here on Sat March 10^th.
We wanted to get some irrigation pipes, ph meters etc.
Absolutey superb customer service by Courtney!!! She was knowledgeable and was just passionate about planting.
I picked her brain about propagating a ficus tree that I have while we were shopping.
I highly recommend Plant’It Earth!

There are not so many plants here, but a ton of lights and fertilizers. If you’re looking for plants, maybe not the place, but supplies, yes indeed! The staff is super friendly and not pushy either – perfect combo.

Nice garden supply and plants in my hood. I got two mid-​sized indoor plants for my room. They seem really healthy, which means they were well cared for before I bought them– transplanted at the right time, good soil mix, etc.
Staff was helpful in selecting the plants and letting me know how to water em.

When out and about, leave the gun and take the list.
Yet another shop on our trot over to Japantown. This time, my supper mate went in this store because of his current search for the perfect succulent. Be it puffy, smooth, prickly… he had an idea of what he wanted but no idea in what to get.
This is the store for those who are looking to learn more or add to their existing indoor brood of flora and fauna. In addition to a great selection of orchids and succulent cuttings, they also offer hydroponics and lighting supplies for the ardent enthusiasts. The people at the counter are very knowledgeable and are open to any questions, low or high level.
We looked at the cacti but ended up not purchasing anything since we were still mobile and he was not sure exactly what to get, but we knew we’d be back for quality product and services.
Slightly more expensive than your suburban neighborhood mega store but the quality in the prices reflect this.

Great little nursery. Didn’t purchase anything but the employees here are very nice and welcoming. The interior is clean, organized and the houseplants are displayed nicely. Plants all looked nice and healthy too.
If i needed any plants I would come here. Heard the man at the counter giving suggestions and advice on how to care for plants which is always a good thing.

I would liek to see more of a selection in teh plant department. Purchased a few things during my first visit to the store. I do really have to say that the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The service was very much a key in the 4 star rate. Based off of selection I would say it is more of a 3 star establish.

Ditto everyone else — the service is great. They turned me on to plant+ flower foods that have made my house and outdoor plants go crazy! So lush and green and growing like mad.
And I just learned a trick to try and get my orchid to bloom again as my begging has not produced any results.

Great selection of plants and amazing customer service!
My bf and I came here to get some plants for the apartment. I was sorta set on some plants but learned that the ones I wanted were a little more high maintenance than I had plan for. We ended up picking up a couple to take home and they even repotted it for us!

Erin is exceptional.
I walked in with questions. He had answers.
And, not just that…
I’m growing hydro peppers, so he invited me upstairs to see the ones he’s growing under lamps. Amazing setup that tells me I have a lot to learn.
Then, because I told him I hate the perlite in my pots right now, he took me to the annex and showed me a special hydro/​soil mixture that doesn’t scratch up your hands or look like a cheap rock garden.
To top it off, he shoveled a huge sample into a bag so I could take it home and try it out on a few plants.
This man is gold.
By the way, I noticed he had a wedding ring on his finger. What a lucky lady.

beautiful fragrant orchids that make my heart race. knowledgeable staff and a sweet dog make it a joy to shop.
i’m sure my questions become tiresome though most of the employees are patient with me. my plants stay alive just because they take a moment to really make sure i know how to take care of my selections.

I always have had incredibly good service from PIE. These guys know their stuff and won’t hesitate to over explain anything you have a question about, even over the phone which has saved me a trip on quite a few occasions.
Sorry this Ken S guy got them at a bad moment or something, that review is not indicative of the service most people receive there. PIE Diviz rocks!

Nice selection of houseplants with a nice open store space, but you might want to exam your plants carefully before purchasing. I was looking for a specific plant, the Golden Pothos. There was one left, so I quickly snagged it.
When I got home and give it a closer examination, there were a lot of cuts, holes, and brown spots hidden around on various leaves. I inspected closely for insects and didn’t find any, so I’m thinking it might have been infected with bugs previously, but has since been cleaned up. I kind of wish the only-​marginally helpful person ringing me up would have mentioned something. I regret paying full price for the plant now, but lesson learned… and shared!

This is a one stop place for all of your needs, with an incredibly helpful staff that’s got a wealth of knowledge in gardening and hydroponics. They don’t carry every brand due to the size of their shop, but you’re more than likely able to get by with what they have.
Then why the 3 stars? Their prices. They are at least 10−15% more expensive than most of the places I’ve been to and surveyed; the internet included but not heavily counter weighted. Cost doesn’t usually burn a star for me when I write reviews, but I docked it due to the lack of variety and the refusal for price matching.
For a cheaper price, I could get the brands and size I wanted; dropped/​shipped together at another shop.
But hell, this shop is located in the middle of a dense, metropolitan area. I was surprised that they even had the few things I needed.

Okay, lately I’ve become a little plant-​obsessed. When I come in here, I channel Nancy Botwin (for those not in the know, Mary Louise Parker’s character on Weeds) as I inspect the crop, study its growing patterns, and discuss proper light, nutrients, and hydration. The young staff are educated, knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful. They patiently identify the plants, offer to transplant my purchases into bigger pots, and in general, are well-​humored when I decline the more expensive depots.
Let’s face it folks, our earth is dwindling, and the more I surround myself with green, the happier I am. The only downside with turning my house into an arboretum is struggling to keep my kitties from ingesting the crop.

This place is amazing! I just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to get some greenery growing in my new backyard… but I wanted some information about what seeds to grow at this point in the season, what would be able to do well in pots, which soils and fertilizers to get, and just some general friendly banter. Needless to say, I was asking a lot to begin with and my expectations were far exceeded!
I was helped by a super-​friendly and knowledgeable salesperson named Brent. Why was this so memorable? Because beyond just advising me, answering my millions of questions, and helping me out with a little free sample of Guano (a girl’s dream gift! haha), at the end of all of that he also pushed the hand cart with 3 massive bags of soil ALL THE WAY to my house (only a few blocks).
He didn’t have to do that for me, and they DO NOT do deliveries (as Brent mentioned), but he went above and beyond and really helped me out! I cannot wait until I have marigolds and peppers and basil — and the awesome folks over at Plant’it Earth will definitely reap some of the benefits!
Thanks again, Brent!

I have a secret that I generally keep to myself… it’s so embarrassing. But for posterity’s sake, I’m going to share it with you. My thumb is black. All my life I’ve wanted a green thumb and every time I’ve attempted any gardening, it’s turned black.
Hence why I’ve not had a living plant in my apartment in quite some time. It just gets too depressing when they continue to die on me. However I was gifted a peace lily in December and I was determined to try and make it last as long as possible. I did a good job of watering it in the basket it came in, but noticed it starting to look rather drab after a month or so. That’s where Plant-​It Earth came in.
I took it down to Plant’It Earth initially to get some potting soil and a pot but also to try to find out how best to take care of it. I was greeted by two friendly gentlemen who told me they could re-​pot the plant for $ 5. What a deal! And they also gave me some sage advice on how to water, etc. While I was there I picked up another plant which I felt was reasonably priced so I’d have one in the house while my plant was being re-​potted.
From what I can tell, this place gets new plants each week, where the owner only selects plants that look good. I had mentioned wanting to get a Wandering Jew and they told me that they didn’t have any in but could call me when they got some in. Since I live so close I opted not to have them do that, but I thought it was very cool.
So far my plants are living well and I’m glad that I was educated there to choose plants that aren’t high maintenance so that the black thumb doesn’t make a reappearance!

We’re hydroponic newbies, but not gardening first timers (mainly thanks to bf growing up on acres of land). After much deliberating, we were finally ready to plant a few things — vegetables, fruits and very legal herbs — in our shoe box apt that will hopefully yield some delicious, organic goodness.
The P.I.E. team set us up, gave fairly good instructions (knowing that it’s plants, a living thing, there are always variables) and answered all questions we had with patience and technical know-​how. Yeah, they do answer your questions like a professor addressing the lecture hall but you know? I rather that than some fluff a lesser knowledgeable person spills out.
A hydroponic setup and associated parts/​additives are not cheap, and P.I.E. charge good money for it. But recently we went back to buy extra plastic pots and seeds — to my surprise both were cheaper than other places I would buy gardening supplies.
So far, the set up’s going good. The seedings are flourishing and our ambition is to have basil as big and lush as those on display at Plant It Earth’s Upstairs Showroom!

It’s great to have a plant store in the neighborhood!
After the black light compartment in the window caught my eye, I decided it was time to learn more about the store. Inside, they had a beautiful variety of plants, including a giant bamboo (about a 6″ diameter, 8′ tall trunk), a healthy banana, and a whole lot of more common house plants. There was a great variety of succulents and carnivorous plants, too. There were all kinds of plant foods and pest pesterers (one was a formula of organic soap and pyrethrins).
Erin W. immediately made me feel at home, reminded me where we had met several years ago, and offered any advice and help I might need. My Lady learned a tip that could extend the life of her fig forest. Thank you, that was great!
On the way home, I noticed a lot of apartments had windows without screens. There may be a good market here for those carnivorous plants!
