Back in February 2019, PLNT.co was founded by Mr. Amir Afham bin Huslan, a professional photographer who also runs his own wedding photographer business.
PLNT.co, which pronounced as “plɑːnt dat coh” or “plaant dot co”, was based in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. Starting by selling houseplants in his house garage, Mr. Amir then started to rent spaces & join event booth as a vendor to expand the brand & market segment. Then PLNT.co went viral during MCO 1.0 by using only social media marketing which were the main marketing stream during Pandemic Covid-19. The plant community increases in number during MCO as most of the people founds growing indoor houseplants as their new hobby trends while staying at homes.
Months later, PLNT.co undergoes rapid growth in business and manage to open its first physical concept plant studio (plant shop), located in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. In less than a year gap, PLNT.co also succeed to expand its business by launching its second central branch in Tamarind Square, Cyberjaya.
