How We Work
The Florafolia Way
Understand
Send us your plant schedule, brief or enquiry. We learn the species, sizing, quantities, quality standards and site conditions.
Quote
We review against our production stock and identify what needs sourcing. One complete quote covering every line. No gaps.
Plan
We lock in growing schedules, confirm sourcing partners for the balance, and set delivery dates matched to your program.
Fulfil
We grow, source, aggregate, quality-check and grade. One coordinated delivery, presentation ready. On spec, on time, on site.
Follow up
We check in after delivery. Any issues are resolved and the next order is planned. Relationship, not transaction.

Why Florafolia
Three things we do differently
Big nursery range, small nursery service
Sub-tropical foliage, Hoyas, Heliconias and specialist lines grown for the eastern seaboard, with the personal service and direct relationships of a family business.
Reliable, we deliver the goods
We deliver what we promise, when we promise it. Quality is graded and consistent. If there is a problem, we flag it early and we fix it.
Accredited production, sub-tropical advantage
NIASA accredited, with advanced trees grown to AS 2303:2018 — the standard NATSPEC calls up for tree stock — and a Cert III qualified team. Our Northern Rivers position gives overnight road freight to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast corridor.
Our People
Real people, on the end of the phone
When you call Florafolia, you talk to the people who grow, grade and dispatch your order. One relationship from first enquiry to final delivery, backed by a Cert III qualified production team.
Unique to Florafolia
Exclusive PBR lines
Florafolia grows a curated range of PBR plants: varieties identified as having different, and often better, growth habits than the original genus and species, legally recognised and managed under Plant Breeder Rights.
We have partnered with some of Australia's most innovative and passionate horticulturalists to be the exclusive grower of a range of hedging and screening plants.
The Hoya 100mm Collection
One of Australia's largest Hoya ranges
Over 500 varieties across three price tiers, from reliable favourites to hard-to-find and rare collector lines. Grown at volume in 100mm pots, shipped retail-ready, with regular drops of new and exciting varieties. Mixed trays available.
The Plant Library
Grown here, from tubestock to advanced
And when your schedule needs more than we grow, we source it. One supplier, one quote, one coordinated delivery for the complete plant package.
