Prefer the lot? The monstera person's pack for €35 — save €10.

Half your shelf is secretly one family. Monstera, pothos, peace lily, ZZ, alocasia — all Araceae, all cousins. This keepsake maps the whole bloodline: the shared flower, the shared self-defence, and the one care language that covers ten branches, plus honest portraits pointing to each deep-dive file. Part family album, part reference, wholly the reason your plants finally make sense together.

Who's behind this

I'm not a botanist, and I don't have 150 plants — I keep a windowsill's worth, and I've killed a few learning how (a Calathea in eleven days is how this whole thing started). When something goes wrong I go down the rabbit hole: the studies, the extension-horticulture pages, the 2am forum threads, and every horror story plant people send in on @leafjournal on TikTok. These guides are that mix — hands-on experience checked against the research, cleaned up and told straight. No lab, no sponsorships, no “trust me.” Just what actually keeps a plant alive, so yours isn't the one that learns it the hard way.
