"Reborn Plants" REN in Mita, Tokyo: A service that trades in, nurtures, and regenerates houseplants
If you love plants, you must have had the experience of
accidentally ending up with too many,
or having them grow too large,
many times over.
As someone who has loved plants for a long time, I have done this repeatedly without learning my lesson.
When I had too many, I gave them to friends and acquaintances,
when they grew too large, I gave them to friends and acquaintances,
and I just kept repeating that cycle💦
When houseplants multiply in a small house,
you end up busy taking care of them on the weekends.
I'll stop now, this time for sure!
I kept saying that while repeating the same thing.
Between 2020 and 2021, they reached the state shown in the three photos below,
and I finally made a real, genuine decision that "this time for sure!"
The smaller ones found new owners one after another,
and the adoptions went smoothly.
What remained were the three large ones.
the one in the center had grown to about four times the size in the photo.
I was at a loss as to what to do with the three large ones, when
I discovered this shop online!
To my surprise, they offer trade-ins!
I couldn't believe such a wonderful thing existed!
It is the most grateful and heartwarming service for a plant lover.
I immediately inquired and decided to bring them in.
Then, the problem was how to transport them.
I haven't driven a car in over a decade, so that was out.
The train was my only option.
I removed the pots, wrapped the soil area securely in plastic bags,
and placed them in small cardboard boxes to secure them, which worked perfectly.
I used a large nylon travel bag and a large reusable shopping bag,
and for the leaves that stuck out, I draped a scarf over them,
and off I went on the train!
It was drizzling that day, but since I live near the station, it wasn't a problem at all😉
I don't usually use escalators or elevators,
but on this day, I avoided the stairs and was very careful and cautious.
It's such a lovely shop with a very calm atmosphere.
The moment you step inside, you feel at ease.
And above all, the staff's kindness warmed my heart.
"I will take good care of it."
Thanks to them saying those words,
I was able to say goodbye with peace of mind🥹
Here is how you can use the trade-in value👇
For those of you who are struggling with the same cycle,
or those considering a trade-in,
it is best to call or email the shop
to let them know the name of the plant you want to trade in before you go.
Apparently, they may not handle certain types.
Knowing that a plant you've raised with care
can be regenerated
is such a relief, isn't it?🌿
