My obsession with plants started in two ways that eventually melded together.

I’ve always loved the outdoors, hiking and exploring nature. One day, years ago, I gave a dying monstera deliciosa to my mom, who brought it back to life after a few months under her wing. I was amazed how beautifully it had recovered and grown with the right care. I’ve been collecting and researching about plants ever since. That’s where the Monstera in our name came from.

We also wanted a name that was welcoming, accepting, and even hinted to my latin heritage. While my native language is Portuguese, La Casa felt like the perfect meeting point that most people would connect with.

We are proudly women, Latina and LGBTQ+ owned.
