La Fauna is located in the South Coast lowlands, a small distance away from the Pacific Sea, in a warm region and with a very good rain regime the whole year round. The name of the farm (“The Faun”) comes from the different plantations found in this place which includes milk cattle, fresh water lobster and frogs; the ornamental plantation was the last one to settle in this highly intensive agricultural farm.
Since 1999, La Fauna has exported every week to different destinies, which includes not only different cities in the United States but also countries in Europe and Asia. The first plant to be exported was Philodendron Cordatum, short after the production already included Golden Pothos, Marble Queen and Aglaonema María. The fast growth of the plantation has been due in part because of the ideal weather of the region for this production. To keep the optimum plantation conditions a 0.5 ha (1.24 acres) water reservoir was built to have enough water when needed. Also, due to the warm weather, a refrigerated room is used to keep the plants fresh after they are cut.
