About Me

For most of my life, I struggled to keep plants alive. I loved them too much and tended to overwater, so I figured I just wasn’t meant to have a green thumb.

In 2020, I started a new job and was gifted a plant. I remember looking at it and wondering what to do next. Over the last five years, I’ve learned how to care for plants and discovered a passion I never knew I had.

I’ve always been fascinated by aroids, especially anthuriums, though they felt intimidating at first. About a year ago, I finally took the plunge with a clarinervium, my gateway anthurium. That one plant quickly led to a collection of over 100 anthuriums. Along the way, I realized how overwhelming it can be to find clear, beginner-friendly plant care information.

That’s why I created Rooted with Maddie. My approach is to share beginner-friendly rare plants and simple care tips so you can feel confident growing your collection as we grow ours together. This isn’t just about selling plants. It’s about building a community that learns together, grows together, and thrives together.
