Situated on Saigon\u2019s Ung Van Khiem Street, the cafe and plant shop is not that hard to find thanks to its bright green appearance \u2013 a breath of fresh air amidst the concrete.<\/p>\n

First established by its owner as a way to bring the cool air and vibrant plant life of Da Lat City to the people of Saigon, C\u00fa Tr\u00ean C\u00e2y quickly became a place to escape from the intense heat.<\/p>\n

Right on the front door are lines of succulents and tillandsias which are also known as air plants. These are some of the more popular plant varieties among new plant owners, thanks to their being low-maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further indoors, you will find a wider variety of flora to enjoy. You can purchase them to bring home and make them a part of your living space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
