About POP Nursery

Pretty Odd Plants Nursery is all about plants that POP! We currently specialize in growing rare succulent Euphorbia and Dorstenia, two genera known for their explosive seeds and striking looks.

Our primary goal is to help folks build ethical collections. We believe that increasing the availability of unusual and infrequently-offered species will give growers of all skill levels a chance to build a unique and genetically diverse collection from the ground up, the same way ours was built. The more seed-grown plants that exist in cultivation, the less pressure there will be on wild populations under threat from poaching.

Our guarantee: every plant we offer is grown from our own seed. Any seed on offer is produced via careful exclusion from cross-pollination, and hand-pollinated from plants we own. To read more about this process, please visit Jared’s cultivation blog. 

We are currently in the slow process of increasing the number of plants we offer every year, and will update our catalog periodically. For updates about our next drop, please join our mailing list at the bottom of this page.
