Once upon a time (2020), a restless plant-slingin’ gal (me) ran out of flat surfaces to put all her plants on…
ABOUT
Hi! My name is Adela (she/her). I’m the owner and maker behind The Plondering, a mixed-fiber macramé & crystal goods shop based in North Carolina. Macramé and I met in 2020 while I was working at a local plant shop. It was early pandemic days, and I spent most of that time helping feed the new wave of pandemic plant parents with everything plant-care. As one of those plant people myself, I was having a hard time finding high-quality plant hangers that weren’t mass-produced, and in colors and sizes I wanted. I decided that I would make those plant hangers, and it quickly tumbled into the eclectic, macramé mish-mash you see now.
Since then I’ve expanded into other fiber art techniques and creations - I especially love one-of-a-kind custom pieces and crystal wall hangings! You can keep up to date with where you can find The Plondering in person here or by following me on Instagram!

Who…me? I’m a native North Carolinian, Chinese-American, and a Leo. I love coffee, plants, the beach, and Megan Thee Stallion. Nowadays you can find me gallivanting throughout RDU - likely with an iced Americano or a mocktail.

Ask me about private workshops! Great for birthdays, employee appreciation, or just because! Available in and near the RDU area of North Carolina. Guest minimum of 8.

I use 100% recycled cotton cord for all macramé pieces. This cord is made with post-consumer textile waste that is blended with like colors. I love this material because it’s soft, recycled, and strong! This is also the material that is provided in workshops!

Sometimes you have a specific plant or a specific spot in the home you want to put a plant hanger in. For customized plant hangers I will generally ask for:
Dimensions; of the plant(s), the pot(s), how long, etc
Color (s)
Any specific knots/flourish’s/inspo pics
