About Us

Jersey City resident Mariel Acevedo is the creative force behind Leila’s Plants. Having lived in Jersey City since immigrating to the US from the Dominican Republic at the age of 5, Mariel has deep roots in the community. Leila's Plants is her brainchild, a specialty plant pop-up shop offering a thoughtfully curated selection of both common and uncommon houseplants, along with plant care tools and accessories.

Founded and operated in Jersey City, Leila's Plants offers a range of services including plant repotting, plant styling consultations, plant care workshops, pop-up events, and more.

She is constantly searching for the best and most interesting plant varieties to share with her customers, ensuring that each plant finds a loving home where it can thrive.
