Shopping for plants online opens up a world of flora options.
Getty ImagesPlants can liven up any space, and shopping for plants now is easier than ever. You can order plants online and have them delivered to your doorstep — just make sure you put them in the right place to keep them alive. There are many options to shop plants online, making it an attractive and affordable way to grab some ficuses and ferns for your home office or living room.
If you prefer buying plants offline and have a greenhouse or a store that you frequent, that’s great. However, not everybody has that, and online plant stores are great for many of us who want plants delivered. Additionally, for some species of plants, buying online may be the best option to get the exact flora you want, thanks to the wide selection available. You can also use plant subscriptions if you want to have plants delivered regularly. For those in need of plants for specific purposes like landscaping, there are specialty online plant vendors. If you don’t have a green thumb, you can go for one of the many low-maintenance options that are easy to keep alive.
Why buy plants online?
Buying plants online means a bigger selection
Depending on what sort of access you have to plant shops, buying your houseplants online may mean a much bigger selection. With so many varieties available from online plant stores, you skip the meager selection at the hardware store and scan an endless virtual garden of potted plants, ferns, ficus and flowers guaranteed to brighten a corner, window, shelf or room.
When you buy your flora on the web, you can choose from common or exotic plants, mini cacti and succulents, hanging plants, flowering plants, planters, faux plants, air plants and large indoor floor plants that anchor an entire room. Better yet, popular online plant markets such as Bloomscape and The Sill provides specific advice for plant care to help your new green stay green. Most of these online plant retailers also carry a wide range of stunning pots and planters to display your new verdure in a myriad of styles and colors.
Buying plants gives you access to more info
Shopping with one of these online plant marketplaces also makes it easy to find pet-friendly potted plants that are safe for your pup or cat. And if your thumb isn’t as green as you’d like it to be, you can find easy-care plants that are darn near impossible to kill with many sites offering easy-care or low-maintenance plant sections filled with rugged flora in all sizes and styles.
These online markets and vendors offer meticulous information on how to care for your new plant, so even if it’s not low-maintenance, you’ll have a better chance of keeping it alive when armed with planting, watering, and sunlight recommendations.
You can buy outdoor plants online too
Beyond indoor plants, we dug up a solid option for buying bigger outdoor plants online including fruit trees, vegetable plants, vines and shrubs for landscaping in case this is the summer you’re finally turning the backyard into a natural wonderland. And if you’re looking to grow fresh herbs inside without having to touch a single grain of soil, we’ve got you covered there too: Check out CNET’s list of best indoor pod gardens in 2024.
Plants make excellent gifts for a new homeowner, holiday gift or as a pick-me-up for someone feeling the winter blues. Whatever your greenery goals are as a plant parent, these are our picks for the best places to buy plants online in 2024.
