A note for growing things

Bloom without asking for permission.

Not everyone will understand your time, your choices, or the way you decided to grow. And that's all right.

There are stages where we need to stop fitting into other people's expectations and simply allow our own nature to appear.

Growing up takes courage. And blooming, sometimes, is just choosing to continue being who you are — entirely.

— The House of Amor

The studio

Albany, New York

La Casa Del Amor is Heather Close's growing room and plant studio. Rooted in centuries-old Japanese botanical traditions, we hand-sculpt structural kokedamas, mount striking exotic varieties, and curate unique living decor.

We create living pieces with patience, curiosity, and a deep love for the strange and beautiful.

Nurturing art

Care changes everything.

01The watering dunk

Submerge the moss ball in room-temperature water for ten to fifteen minutes. Let it drink slowly, then drain completely before returning it home.

02Finding light

Choose bright, indirect light. A gentle east-facing window keeps foliage vivid without drying the moss or scorching tender leaves.

03Pruning and growth

Remove tired leaves with clean scissors and turn your piece weekly. Small, regular attention encourages balanced, expressive growth.
