Specializing in beginner-friendly indoor plants, Prop House Plants carries a wide inventory of pothos, monsteras, hoyas and owner Brittany Montero’s personal favorite — philodendron. Prop House Plants sends each buyer home with a plant card that details the amount of watering, light and humidity required.
After bonding with her brother, Jose, over plants during the pandemic, Montero founded the shop in October 2022.
Brittany, with Cuban and Ecuadorean roots, credits both of her grandmothers for her green thumb. She says they maintained beautiful flourishing gardens when she was a kid. Growing up in the low-income neighborhoods of Hawthorne and Lawndale, she remembers how her Cuban grandmother’s house stood out for its vibrant greenery.
