Happy People, Happy Plants
Tropical House was founded on a simple belief: green spaces make people feel better.
Indoor plants do more than decorate a room. They bring warmth, life, and a connection to nature, transforming homes and businesses into places people genuinely enjoy spending time in.
Every project is designed with intention and cared for with expertise. From custom plant design and installation to ongoing maintenance, we care for every detail so your greenery stays healthy and beautiful for years to come.
As your trusted local plant partner, we're here for more than the installation. We're here to build a lasting relationship, helping your space continue to grow and flourish long after the first plant is placed.
Intentional Plant Design
Intention in design is what separates indoor plant placement and indoor plant design. Rather than putting a plant here or there, we come to understand how people are interacting with each space and how plants can best serve that space, creating an experience and further amplifying the use of plants in your business or home.
Pride & Ownership
Creating exceptional green spaces takes more than expertise—it takes people who genuinely care. That's why every member of the Tropical House team approaches their work with intention, thoughtfulness, and ownership.
Serving Through Plants
We believe our work has purpose. Every plant is an opportunity to serve others by creating environments that positively impact the people who experience them every day.
Our Services
PRICING
Clear Process. Thoughtful Design. Ongoing Care.
Investing in your space is an investment in the people who experience it every day. Every project is thoughtfully designed around your goals, space, and budget. We lay out a clear, step-by-step path so you know exactly what to expect from the very beginning.
Initial Call
The initial call is free. Our journey begins with a complimentary phone chat to explore your ideas, discuss the scope of your project, and see how we can best support your goals.
Consultation
Your consultation includes an on-site evaluation where we consider lighting, architecture, how people interact with the space, and how plants will complement the surrounding furnishings and design. The consultation is $100 and is fully credited toward your project when you move forward with our services. Following your consultation, you'll receive a custom proposal with recommended plant selections, placement throughout your space, and visual mock-ups of key areas to help bring your vision to life.
Installation
Installation is billed at an hourly rate plus the cost of materials. We handle every aspect of sourcing, delivery, placement, and installation, ensuring your new plants are professionally installed and ready to enjoy. A deposit is collected in advance to cover plants, pottery, and other project materials.

Do indoor plants attract bugs?
Healthy, properly cared-for plants rarely have issues, but nature happens and houseplant pests can arise. To mediate this, we source our plants from partners who have rigorous pest management protocols and high plant standards. We treat our plants proactively, and with our regular maintenance service, we spot and handle any pests before they ever become a problem.
How does pricing work?
We believe in absolute transparency. We start with a free intro call, follow up with a flat fee consultation, and then bill our installations at an hourly rate plus the cost of materials so you only pay for exactly what you need.
Commercial Maintenance starts at $160/month
Residential Maintenance starts at $300/month
What happens during the consultation?
We walk through your home or office to evaluate your natural light, airflow, and layout. Afterward, we send you a custom PDF design plan with photos of specific plants and pottery curated to match your aesthetic and environment.
Do I need to know how to care for the plants?
Not at all. We don't just install your plants and leave. Our team provides regular, scheduled maintenance visits to handle all the care for you. We manage the ongoing work so you can simply relax and enjoy a thriving, hassle-free green space.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve homes and commercial businesses throughout the entire Reno, Sparks (including USA Parkway), Carson City, Truckee and Greater Tahoe region, bringing custom nature-inspired designs straight to your local space.
We have existing plants. Can you take over their maintenance?
Yes, we can absolutely take care of the plants you already have in your space. During our initial walkthrough, we will check the health and quality of your current greenery. From there, we can add them to our regular maintenance routine or let you know if any plants need to be replaced to keep the space looking its best.
What is your policy if a plant under your care gets sick or dies?
Our ultimate goal is a thriving environment. If you are enrolled in our regular maintenance program, we guarantee the health of your greenery and will replace any plant that loses its vitality under our care, at no additional cost to you.
