(“Geoponics”) to distribute fresh indoor plants throughout Canada using its extensive e-commerce platform www.PlantX.com.

Each plant is grown and nurtured for 2-3 months by Geoponics’ plant experts, hand-picked, meticulously inspected and once through quality control are bagged, wrapped and carefully packaged. Every order includes care manuals and growth requirements specific to each plant to keep them healthy and thriving.
