The collection
Six things,
nothing else.

Terra cylinder
Unglazed terracotta
Pressed terracotta, 14 cm, with a deep saucer. It wicks moisture through the wall, which is why we recommend it to anyone who waters too often.

Almanac grit mix
2:1 mineral to organic
Pumice, coarse perlite and sieved compost, blended 2:1 and sifted to 3–6 mm. Two quarts fills about six 9 cm pots. Mixed the week it ships.
2 qt / 1.9 LAdd to bag
Long-spout can
Galvanised steel, 1 L
A 26 cm narrow spout that reaches under a rosette without wetting the crown. One litre is enough for a shelf of twenty small pots, and light enough to hold steady.

First shelf tray
Nine plants, four genera
Nine 5 cm plants chosen to teach nine different things: an echeveria, a haworthia, a sedum, a graptopetalum, a kalanchoe, and four others depending on the season. Labelled, bare-root, packed dry.

Living stones set
Three lithops, two species
Three seed-grown lithops in a 9 cm pan of pure mineral mix, with a printed watering calendar. Not a beginner plant — we say so on the card.

About the catalogue
This is a working preview of the shop: names, prices and stock are placeholders while the first production run is being priced. Nothing here takes payment yet.
Every product links back to the guide that explains how to use it. If a thing does not have a guide, we do not sell it.

The tray and the watering guide.
Nine small plants, one bag of mix, and twenty minutes of reading. That is a better first purchase than any single large specimen.
