Futamura Green is a long-established foliage plant store that has been in business for over 80 years, starting with the rental and sale of foliage plants. The location is conveniently located 15 minutes by car from Nagoya Station and 25 minutes from central Sakae, and has 3 greenhouses of about 300 sq.m., a farm, and more than 3,000 pots of ornamental plants.

All plants are directly purchased by their staff who visit the production areas. They have a large selection of attractive foliage plants, such as one-of-a-kind plants, plants with a presence that will become symbolic trees, and plants carefully selected through a network of foliage producers.

This time, we asked Mr. Takahashi of Futamura Green about how to grow and choose, how to incorporate it into the interior, and so on.

More than 3,000 stocks are always stocked 
on a vast site of about 300 sq.m.

When we arrived at Futamura Green, the first thing that struck us was the size of the grounds. This is probably the only place in Nagoya where you can see so many greens on such a large site.

Most of their clients are specialists in the Tokai area, such as florists, landscapers, interior coordinators, interior stores, design offices, construction companies, and model rooms, but individual visitors are also welcome. However, we recommend that you call in advance if you plan to visit, as staff may not always be available.

Outdoor foliage plants are lined up outside.

They have a large selection of smaller sizes. You can place them around your desk.

Greens that grow lively
​in an environment that matches the habitat of the plant.

In the back is a greenhouse.

The plants of Futamura Green grow in an environment that matches their habitat. Plants grown in Okinawa or Hachijojima are arranged in a greenhouse adjusted to the temperature and humidity suitable for that area, and plants suitable for the outdoors are arranged outdoors.

Many olive trees lined the street outside. The olive trees ranged from small ones to magnificent ones over 100 years old.

Room temperature is 20-25 degrees. Plants of size 6 to 12 are collected.

In this greenhouse, they grow a variety of plants from various southern regions, such as Polysias and Bengalensis artesima. Many of the plants at Futamura Green have interesting tree shapes, and many of the greens are so attractive that they can be used as part of the interior design.
