Dej mi pokojovku

The story of our love for houseplants began the moment we first opened the door to our new, bright apartment. At first we saw plants as mysterious roommates: there were only a few of them, and their names and needs were a puzzle to us. When we moved in, we made a resolution. We decided to find out what our green roommates were called and what they needed to thrive. One of the first plants that caught our attention back then was Monstera deliciosa. It became our inspiration and our guide to the world of houseplants. It taught us to fertilize, to propagate and to enjoy caring for plants. So why grow houseplants at all? For us the answer is simple: every new leaf, every flower reflects our care and is the result of the effort and time we have given them. And who doesn’t enjoy seeing their successes right in front of them?

Growing plants is also a great way to improve and beautify your home. Plants not only bring freshness into a space, they also clean the air of harmful substances and raise humidity. Your interiors turn into green oases that create a pleasant atmosphere and bring you joy every day. And then, of course, there is green, a color that calms and inspires us. This color relaxes our eyes, improves our sleep and sparks our creativity. It was green that led us to create our shared dream, our project, “Dej mi pokojovku.”

The project, now in its sixth year, started as the dream of two enthusiasts and lives on through the work of two passionate (authors’ translation: chronic workaholic) houseplant growers. At the start of our journey we grew plants only at home, in our two-story apartment, and we even fulfilled our first online orders from our living room. After work, Zuzka handed off orders outside our building, and Tomáš, also after work, delivered them around Prague. Over time we decided to take our hobby a step further. So now you can buy our plants not only online at dmp.cz but also offline, in our store, where we look after them just like the ones we have at home. We have grown a little since then, but at heart we are still houseplant enthusiasts. We also pass on our experience through workshops. But even that wasn’t enough for us, so we became authors too. Our love for plants (and not just plants) unites us and led us to write a book. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned grower, we offer you our experience and want to help you on your way to a jungle of your own at home. We believe anyone can handle houseplant care...
