HISTORY
Micro Plant Studio is the longest boutique plant store opened in Boston, and the first Latinx-owned and managed plant business in New England. Also, we are the first plant store to 3D design and print unique plant, floral, office, and home décor products! Our designs; pots, vases, propagation kits, and many other innovative items are functional and edgy.
Our company name is significant for our founder and owner, Julio Cesar Roman.
In 2017, our founder Julio had an unexpected surgery. As part of his recovery process from his small art studio apartment, he cared for his growing collection of succulent plants. Julio found caring for the plants soothed him and made him feel happier. As an artist, he was inspired to learn more about the biology of succulents and other plants. Julio explored the propagation process and experimented with planting in cool glass tubes and other containers. Within a short period of time, he had too many plants to care for. He started photographing the propagation process and the plants interacting with his collectible tiny toys by creating dramatic environments. Now, his plant collection and toy collection are online. You can buy one of his larger plants to add to your collection. These plants are great for your home or office and can easily make a great gift/present to family and friends. Some of our plants are pet, kid, and adult-friendly and are great for the home and office spaces. Julio’s personal journey and passion for plants are at the heart of Micro Plant Studio, inspiring us to bring joy and beauty to your life.

Rethinking the Traditional Flower, Plant & Gift Shop
Micro Plant Studio’s South Boston location comprises a showroom and a creative arts studio. The space challenges what one traditionally would consider a florist, plant, or gift shop. The showroom combines these three concepts and pushes them to a new level. Showroom guests will find a unique sample of items from Micro Plant Studio’s complete online website collection. Behind the showroom, guests will find an intimate studio space for creating terrariums, painting, and participating in other creative projects/workshops. The studio encourages people to make art, be inspired by art and nature, learn from each other, be part of a shared community space, and increase their sense of community by networking with others. Guests of all skill levels are welcome in the studio.
