Welcome to Black Toe Tropicals!

We are a small, independently run nursery in Singapore where every plant is propagated in-house with care and patience. This means we rarely mass import and resell plants from elsewhere, so our turnaround time is naturally longer than large commercial nurseries—but the reward is stronger, better-acclimated plants grown with attention to detail!

Every order supports a one-person operation dedicated to quality and honest growing.
