Bleume

Sam Niemann has been a gardener for as long as he can remember. From sneaking out as a teenager to ride his bike to the local garden center to working in horticulture ever since, Sam’s life has been defined by the joy of growing things. He founded Bleume with a singular, heartfelt goal: to inspire others to experience that same joy by making plant care simpler and more connected.

Based in Chicago, Bleume is a houseplant care brand that strips away the confusion of indoor gardening. Their signature balanced 7-7-7 liquid fertilizer is designed for consistent use, combining a high-quality formula with design-forward packaging that looks beautiful on any shelf. By making the "science" of feeding plants approachable and aesthetic, Sam is giving every plant parent the tools to grow something great.
