“Hi, I’m Amanda, the plant lover behind Sprout and Succulent.

My obsession with succulents really comes down to one thing: propagation. There’s pure magic in taking a single leaf, nurturing it, and watching a tiny baby succulent sprout into life. I started this business simply to share that delight with everyone around me. Based in Lancaster, I hand-grow and carefully pot these little green treasures so you can experience the fun of watching them thrive in your own home. Catch me at Expressive Avenue and local pop-ups—I’d love to talk plant care, swap propagation stories, and help you find your next succulent baby!”
