Three ways to pass a plant on
Every listing is one of three kinds, so you always know what's on offer.
Sell
Set a fair price, take offers in chat and mark it sold when it's gone.
Give away
Too many pups on your snake plant? Give them to someone nearby, first come, first served.
Swap
List what you'd like in return and trade a cutting for the one you've been hunting.
Every cutting has a story.
The monstera your neighbour grew from a single node. The geraniums that bloomed on a balcony all summer. RootSwap keeps them growing, one new home at a time.
From windowsill to new home in minutes
- 01
Snap and list
Add a few photos, pick sell, give away or swap, and add the care details. We compress your photos and strip their location data before upload.
- 02
Chat and agree
Message in real time, send a price offer or propose a swap. Accept, decline or withdraw right in the conversation.
- 03
Meet and hand over
Meet somewhere public, check the plant, and mark it reserved, sold, swapped or gifted.
Everything a plant swap needs
Built for plant people, from casual windowsill growers to local nurseries.
Search the way you talk
Type "free monstera near me" or "under 30" and RootSwap works out the rest, in English or Greek.
List or map, your call
Browse nearby plants as a list or on a map, then tap "Search this area" to look somewhere new.
Offers and swaps in chat
Every listing has its own conversation, with quick replies, price offers and swap proposals.
Business profiles, coming soon
Nurseries and plant shops will get opening hours, service areas and links next to their reviews.
Save what you love
Heart a plant to find it later, and see similar plants nearby on every listing.
Reviews you can trust
Members review each other, so you can see who you're dealing with before you meet.
Safe by design
Swapping plants means meeting neighbours. RootSwap is built to keep that easy and safe.
Your address stays private
Listings show an approximate area, never your exact location, and distances are rounded.
Photos without the metadata
GPS and camera data are stripped from every photo before it leaves your phone.
Report and block
Report a listing that breaks the rules, or block a member you'd rather not hear from.
Questions, answered
Is RootSwap free?
Yes. Joining, browsing, listing and messaging are all free.
Where can I use it?
RootSwap works in your browser today. Native apps for iPhone and Android are on the way.
What can I list?
Plants, cuttings, seeds and pots, from common houseplants to rare finds. Each listing is for sale, free, or up for swap. For now you can keep up to 10 plant listings, 10 seed listings and 5 garden supplies listings, such as pots, open (available or reserved) at a time.
Can other members see where I live?
No. We only store and show an approximate area, so people can see roughly how far away a plant is without knowing your address.
What does “Trusted member” mean?
It’s a badge RootSwap gives on its own to members who have confirmed their email, joined at least 30 days ago, completed at least 5 deals, with at least 3 different members, that they talked over in RootSwap chats, and have no open reports about them. When you mark a listing sold, swapped or given away, you say who it went to, and the deal counts for you both. It isn’t an identity check, so meet somewhere public and see the plant before you pay.
Can I sell as a nursery or plant shop?
Soon. Business profiles, with opening hours, your service area and links to your shop, are on their way. Leave your details below and we’ll let you know as soon as they open.
For nurseries and plant shops
Business profiles are coming soon: a shop profile with opening hours, your service area, links and a Business badge on every listing. Leave your details and you’ll be among the first to know.
