Plant Care Gifts for the Aspiring Green Thumb

Just like a human’s gut, the bacteria living in and on plants are essential for their growth, immunity and nutrition. Arber works with plant’s naturally occurring defense mechanisms to increase the supply and/or availability of beneficial nutrients and microorganisms. Through protecting and maintaining our most significant non-renewable geo resource — soil — Arber also increases biodiversity and carbon drawdown.

Out of necessity sparked by an overflowing collection of plants in her small Brooklyn apartment, Farrah Sit created the Spora planter. This piece would become Light + Ladder’s first and spur Farrah’s mission to create artistic yet attainable and useful décor for the conscious consumer. Rooted in sustainability, Light + Ladder is powered by a studio in Vermont supplied by 100% carbon-free energy, more than 68% of which is renewable. The brand also mixes a custom formula of clays in-house and partners with a female-owned factory in Portugal.
