About Hapke’s Hortum Houseplant & Supply

Hapke’s Hortum is a boutique houseplant store located in the heart of Old Colorado City on Colorado Avenue. This surely ain’t no “big box” store, our owner Clay selects and sells only the finest boutique style plants for Colorado habitats —  Bonus, they partner with local makers and vendors to stylize the plants with custom pottery, macrame crafts, quirky gifts, and recycled or repurposed pieces.

Hapke’s Hortum was founded in 2023 by partners Clay Hapke, Lauren McKenzie and Joseph Campana. Today, the shop is fully operated by Clay Hapke, find him behind the register, teaching workshops, or consulting across town.

You can find Hapke’s Hortum plants all around Colorado Springs — adding life and energy to homes across the community, hyping up desks and shelves of local businesses, and sitting pretty at local pop-up markets. And you can lean on them if you’ve got a shady past with plants. No more fears of undersunning or overwatering. Hapke’s Hortum takes care of you and your red thumbs by delivering each plant with simple, straightforward care instructions.
