Leon & George

I recently moved and started searching for greenery for my new place. I was surprised to discover how expensive large plants/trees are. $300 for an elephant ears plant is hard to swallow.

Leon and George delivers potted plants to your home or office. They deliver for free in the Bay Area and LA and give you 30 days of plant care help. L&G went through the S17 batch of Y Combinator.

Thanks Kat for the hunt! I'm Nico, co-founder of Léon & George. We launched beginning of 2017 and we're helping people getting plants for their home and office. Feel free to ask any questions!

Fucking excellent. You pay for what you get and this is well worth the extra bit you pay over Home Depot prices. The plants are handpicked and potted with obvious care. I couldn't make a plant look so good if I did it myself. I do wish they offered bulk discounts so I could outfit my entire home:)

Very nice plant selection. I have an unhealthy obsession with succulents so plants are definitely my thing but also, I'm planning to release my product here on PH (spoiler: related to home/office decor as well) so here is some feedback: While there are many places to buy plants, their pots are hideous. It's extremely hard to find a pot which is functional and beautiful at the same time (I end up buying whatever I find pretty and make the holes myself) so it's really great that the customer can choose from more than 1 option! About plant care: That must be everyone main's concern. It's hard to choose a place for them to stay so whenever I'm doing plant shopping, I tend to make a mental map of the available sunny spots in my house and if that particular plant will be pleased with it. I'm currently setting a chatbot that will guide my customers through their preferences and product variations and this chatbot will give them their final price. So something that would be hella cool and scream "Buying plants SF style" would be... a chatbot that guides the customer through which sunny spots does he/she have and which plant will end up thriving there. Something like "indoor only / indirect sunlight from window / direct sun by the morning or afternoon / direct sun during the whole day". With some other things like "I don't like watering plants suggest me a resistant one". Plant care is complicated and as much as I like them, I don't really like to spend much time studying how to keep them alive so if I had a tool where I could select how much sun I have available and how many times I have to water them weekly and then I'm presented with a collection that fits my needs, this would be insanely cool. You won't be just another plant seller, for sure. Just my 2 cents.

Well... I love plants and gardening. My thoughts: - Pricing is high. It might be "fair"... but it's just high. - I've seen some comments about lots of selection... went to the website, there was some selection, I wouldn't describe it as lots at all - I guess this is where my 37 years on this planet make me "old". This actually isn't that hard. Finding a plant, planting it, putting it in a sunny spot, watering it. It's all basic stuff. Especially for indoor plants. Read the tag relative to sun/shade need. Keep it watered. If you want, every once in a while "feed" it with some kind of mineral-added liquid. I think what you're selling is convenience with as lightly premium feeling product. In a city like SF, NY, etc... makes a ton of sense. Some of these plants are big, unwieldy, etc. But otherwise I can already either do it myself, or find somewhat similar stuff on wayfair and other sites. just my two cents.

Such a great service, I had to restrain myself from getting them all! Awesome as presents or client gifts as well. How do you decide which plant species to stock as I've been looking for a dracaena marginata for a while, will you be offering that soon?
