FROM EXPERIENCE TO PASSION

Growing plants,
for us,
is a way of life.

Our story is rooted in the growing experience that began with Tuğtekin Çiçekçilik in 1950. Developed through Cymbidium orchids, this heritage expanded into Phalaenopsis when Solo Plant was founded in Yalova in 2014.

Our name means “one plant”. Behind that plant, we see knowledge, attention and time. From a tiny shoot to a flower, we bring the same care to every stage.

Our story, then and now
Solo PlantFROM YALOVA, WITH CARE.
FROM TUĞTEKİN ÇİÇEKÇİLİK TO SOLO PLANT

The years pass.
The story
blossoms.

A flower’s beauty may fit into a season. Learning to grow it takes years. Our story is about the experience that began in 1950, taking root again in each new era.

Names change. Our commitment to growing endures.

    First, a flower.
    Then, a
    culture of growing.

    The experience that began with Tuğtekin Çiçekçilik in 1950 was the first chapter of our connection with ornamental plants. Greenhouse-grown orchids and Cymbidium became an important part of that heritage.

    Knowing the plant, watching its development, preparing the right conditions… The attention we give to growing Phalaenopsis today is rooted in this experience, developed over many years.

    For us, growing means learning anew every day.

    THE EXPORT YEARS

    From one greenhouse,
    to new horizons.

    In time, the journey of our flowers reached beyond borders. Exports to Yugoslavia in 1988–1989 opened a new chapter in our growing story.

    Shipments to Bulgaria, Russia, Greece and Romania in 1992–1993 broadened this experience. Growing expertise took on new meaning as our flowers reached different countries.

    SOLO PLANT IS FOUNDED

    One name.
    One focus.
    Solo Plant.

    Founded in Yalova in 2014, Solo Plant brought its growing heritage to Phalaenopsis orchid production.

    Our name, meaning “one plant”, captures the focus of this new beginning: knowing a plant’s needs closely and maintaining the same attention from its first laboratory shoot to its growth in the greenhouse.

    Years of experience blossomed under a new name.

    The same care, at every stage.

    FACILITY INVESTMENTS COMPLETED

    From a tiny shoot,
    to a life
    in bloom.

    Facility investments that began in 2014 were completed in 2020, marking the move to full-capacity production. From tissue culture to greenhouse, this production structure opened the next chapter of our story.

    We carry out laboratory, nursery and growing stages in-house, bringing human care and technology together. We manage light, water and temperature to suit the plant’s development, observing and checking each stage.

    Technology creates the conditions. Care accompanies every shoot.

TODAY · THE STORY CONTINUES

Knowledge passed down,
comes to life in every shoot.

The experience that began in 1950 now underpins every orchid grown in Yalova. As we wait for a flower to open, we care for its entire journey.

IT BEGINS IN THE LAB

Not a flower yet.
A beginning.

An orchid’s journey begins with a shoot so small it is easy to overlook. In our tissue culture laboratory, growing expertise meets careful hands.

Behind the flower you see is work you do not see.
