Hedera Plant started cultivating Hedera in 1981 on an area of 10,000 m2 of greenhouse space in Mijdrecht. At that time it was still unique that only 1 product was grown on such a surface. This step enabled Hedera Plant to always provide its customers with the right quality and quantities of Hedera.

In 1982 Hedera Plant opened a second location of 20,000 m2 on the Hoofdweg in De Kwakel. This allowed them to produce even more types and sizes of Hedera. In this way they became a total supplier of this product.

As of 2012, Hedera Plant has six locations with a total area of 190,000 m2 of greenhouse space. In addition, various other companies produce semi-finished products for them. Five of our locations can be found in the Aalsmeer region, one in the Noordoostpolder.

Their range has also grown over the years. It now consists of more than 25 varieties of Hedera. Most of these varieties can be used both indoors and outdoors. They produce in 8.5 cm pots. up to 24 cm. The production time varies from 12 weeks to over 2 years.
