Mociun: Thanks for taking the time to meet with us! We’re obsessed with the plants and flowers you stock. Tell us about your personal collection of planters and plants.

Sprout: I love handmade pottery with interesting textures and colors. I also like incorporating simple white, modern pots.

Mociun: Are you noticing any trends in plants? What are you some client favorites?

Sprout: Succulents are always popular, as are airplants and ferns/mosses. I love hanging plants such as hoya and lipstick plants.

Mociun: Us too! That airplant in our Chen and Kai avocado planter looks great. Have you seen any cool gardens in the hood?

Sprout: Green Dome gardens is a beautiful community garden in McCarren Park.

Mociun: So, any tips on urban garden?

Sprout: Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Some plants will thrive, others will fail. Just learn from your mistakes and keep at it!

Mociun: What should we look for in a planter?

Sprout: Drain holes are ideal. Also make sure the planter is large enough to accommodate the existing plant size (2-3" bigger would be better).

Mocin: Noted! What are you favorite mociun ceramics?

Sprout: I love the simple styles with splash of color. Bold geometric patterns are great too.
