Terra Lab

Terra Lab sells air plants, or tillandsias, which grow without soil and take water and nutrients straight from the air. They can be put almost anywhere, which makes them workable in urban flats and offices. The brand is Portuguese and its range is built around plants that need little maintenance. The catalogue covers a wide variety of air plants, along with supports and holders made to display them. Kokedamas are another mainstay: a Japanese way of growing plants in moss balls, with no pot. There are also seed bombs, the Rose of Jericho and other botanical curiosities. Alongside the plants, the shop stocks incense that is 100% vegan, plant-based and handmade in India. It also carries decorative items, among them ethnic pieces sourced from around the world. Terra Lab trades online only, shipping quickly within Portugal and to EU countries. It also sells at festivals, fairs and markets around the country, and posts its calendar of events on Instagram. Workshops are on offer for people who want to learn more about plant care and sustainable decoration. The company works with corporate clients and event planners too, supplying plant-based gifts for weddings and company occasions.
