It is conveniently located with plenty of parking, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Every once in a while, you will discover something a little more rare or unexpected. My Pink Princess Philodendron and variegated money tree both came from here, and they are two of my favorite plants. Of course, going in "just to look" is how you end up coming home with another plant. But I have accepted that about myself.

Stopped here after searching Google…read more There was a aquaponic shop in kalihi which moved and I haven't actually tried finding it but I found this shop and it wasn't so bad. Pricing was decent, I got some grow plugs at 2 for $1 and also a heavy duty humidity dome. Fortunately I do a lot of aquascaping so I already had a plant light that can run on its own 24/7. First impression walking in, I thought the shop was closing, but apparently the owner is moving things around. Phew! There was also a customer before me who didn't seem to care that there was someone after him as he pulled the owner away to share pictures while I had already started to inquire on some items. Which was fine, I added that into my schedule that the shop might be busy or might not be. So I continued to walk around and learned that he also does mushroom cultures! Pretty awesome right? I proceed to pay and chatted up with the owner. He mentioned that lion mane cultures have to be ordered in advanced because they sell out before they even make it on the shelf. Crazy right?

Okay, I admit it. I have officially turned into a plant dad over the last year…read more It all started with, "I need a few plants for my new office." We started with lucky bamboo, then a money tree and a money plant. Then came the monsteras, a snake plant, Pink Princess and White Wizard philodendrons. Somehow, "a few plants" turned into a small forest in my office. Mari's Urban Garden has everything you need to satisfy your plant dad needs and possibly enable your growing addiction. They have a great selection, and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. There is street parking nearby, or they validate parking for the garage in the building. Apparently, I no longer go to plant stores because I need a plant. I go because there might be a plant I need.

They also now host a former floral shop, Pua Hana from Kaimuki, who provides leis/ haku leis for sale. I've taken classes when they used to do them at Surf Jack eons ago. Service is friendly and I love their selections of plants, florals, prints, and knick knacks. I wish I could take home many, but can't given I am not local to Oahu. It seems they have relocated to a different location now and and are no longer at the Salt shopping plaza.

The space is on the smaller side but there is a ton to see! I feel like I made at least three rounds around the shop during my visit cause I kept discovering new things I missed before. They have a selection of fresh cut flowers and greens (don't forget to check the fridge in addition to those out on display in the front). Some potted plants available of various sizes, lots of unique planters of various sizes, and cute plant-related gifts. There was a cute station of native seed packets too! There is a soil mix station if you want to make your own. It's on a smaller side though so probably best for smaller plants and/or terrariums. The staff were busy preparing for an event and the store was going to be closed for a portion of their typical business hours so if you're traveling from far away, it might not hurt to call ahead to confirm their hours for that day. Everyone was friendly though!

It can be really tough to find the right florist...someone you truly trust with your wedding's…read morefloral design. I initially chose a different florist, but as the process unfolded, I began to have doubts. I decided to keep looking and ultimately found Plant Hawaii--and I'm so glad I did! Working with Scot and the entire team was an incredible experience from start to finish. They were excellent communicators, truly listened to our vision, and created stunning inspiration boards that perfectly captured our theme. What stood out most was how collaborative and transparent the entire process felt. Their online portal was fantastic. It clearly showed each floral request, counts, inspiration photos, and costs. Their suggestions were beautiful and thoughtful. In addition, they were upfront about pricing every step of the way. These are two very important things to consider when selecting a florist. First, having an online portal made it incredibly easy to make adjustments together and immediately see changes reflected in the proposal. Second, clarity around flowers and pricing felt surprisingly difficult when speaking with other florists. Plant Hawaii stood out because they were so clear, organized, and transparent by comparison. On the wedding day, Scot and his team arrived and immediately jumped into action. As a planner, coordinating vendors can be stressful, but Plant Hawaii needed no direction. They built a breathtaking ceremony arch, placed all aisle and reception florals, handed me the bride's bouquet, and made sure I knew exactly where all the leis were. Everything was seamless and effortless. Florals truly set the tone for a wedding, and Plant Hawaii delivered the most jaw-dropping tropical Hawaiian arrangements. The bride envisioned a sunset palette, and the team quite literally painted a sunset sky with flowers. Their attention to detail, artistry, and love for what they do showed in every single element. Mahalo nui to Scot and the Plant Hawaii team. We are so grateful to have worked together! If you're considering them, don't wait!! They are the best!!!

Q: What do I do on weekends?…read more A: Plant shop, but not at Plant Hawaii. New hours as of last week, Mon-Fri only. Closed on weekends. I've actually been there on the days and hours that they say they are open but they were closed. I pressed the Ring button as instructed, but no response. I got into my car but spied another family coming to the parking lot. I got out of the car and followed them. Somehow they had the magic that I didn't have, and got a lovely young girl to open up the shop. I tagged right along, glad that I didn't drive away when I was going to. The girl was really nice. I've purchased a variety of things from them in the past: lipstick vine, hibiscus and etc. The prices are pretty good; hibiscus on the pricier side but they have the Cajun series that I crave so much. Bummer that they are not open on weekends but I totally get it.

I understand they are busy and it's a small business, but at least try to return calls. They might be busy now, but they'll need more customers in the future, won't they? I'm taking my business elsewhere. I appreciate their response below, to which they replied within minutes after I posted my review. But if you have time to reply to a negative review on Yelp, give customers a quick call, especially after they leave you messages. Small gestures like that show good customer service. I contacted other businesses that are also busy but they were accommodating and even made recommendations. We are a small community, we try to support small, local businesses, and it doesn't cost a thing helping each other. Thanks!
