In Spanish, Palo Santo means “holy wood.” For centuries, it has been used across South America for its soothing fragrance, believed to cleanse spaces, encourage clarity, and invite renewal. This piece was grown and harvested in Ecuador, where we partner with local communities to honor tradition and create opportunity.
How to Use Your Palo Santo
At the foot of Cotopaxi, one of the world’s highest active volcanoes, lies the fertile land where many of our flowers are grown.
Volcanic soil is rich in minerals, giving life to stronger stems, brighter petals, and blooms that last longer in your hands.
Flowers bring beauty into the world–but we believe they shouldn’t leave a trace behind. In 2023, Del Alma became the first floral company to be certified Plastic Neutral.
For every piece of plastic we use, we recover and recycle 10% more, ensuring our work gives back more than it takes. It’s a milestone we’re proud of–but it’s also just the beginning. Responsibility, to people and to the planet, is at the root of everything we do.
Behind every flower is a farmer, a family, a community. In these lands, generations have worked blending tradition and innovation.
Our Fair Trade Certified farms provide education, healthcare, and housing–because sustainability is about people as much as petals. Every stem carries their story.
Every stem has it’s journey, and it doesn’t end in the field. At Del Alma, we believe flowers are meant to be touched, arranged, discovered, and celebrated.
That’s why a moment like this–seeing someone connect with our blooms up close–is so meaningful. It’s more than just petals and stems. It’s about inspiring discovery, elevating the experience, and reminding the world that flowers are perfectly imperfect–just like us.
The beauty you see in a vase begins long before the flowers are cut. In the fields, every detail matters–from the health of the soil to the timing of each harvest.
Our teams walk the rows, study the plants, and care for every bud. This commitment to quality and discovery is what makes Del Alma blooms stand out: flowers that carry the story of patience, care, and connection.
Ecuador is home to one of the riches biodiversities on Earth. From orchids in the rainforest to wildflowers on volcanic slopes, insipration is everywhere.
At Del Alma, we believe discovery drives wonder. That’s why we introduce new varieties each year–each one a celebration of nature’s endless creativity.
