15 Places to Buy Houseplants Online

Bloomscape

Bloomscape ships houseplants directly from its greenhouse to your door—typically in less than a week, it says—using a proprietary box to keep the greenery secure and providing a recycled-plastic Ecopot (and saucer) in a variety of color options.

If you're not sure which plant is best for your home, search by features including pet-friendly (no toxic leaves here); low maintenance—for the green-thumb-in-training; or low light, for apartment dwellers with limited exposures. Then reference detailed care guides, covering everything from pests and watering to repotting and air quality, to keep your new greenery lush and healthy.

Urban Stems

Urban Stems is known for its colorful, contemporary floral arrangements, but it also boasts a wide selection of houseplants: delicate, structural orchids, tiny succulents in whimsical planters—plus snake plants, jade plants, ric rac cactus, Swiss cheese plants, and other plants with eye-catching leaf shapes and colors.

The company sources its plants from farms certified by the Rainforest Alliance and offers same-day delivery in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, with overnight shipping to the rest of the country—making it easy to send a last-minute gift to your family and friends (or to treat yourself).

The Sill

Whether your plant preferences tend toward oversized money trees, sculptural potted olive trees, leafy philodendrons, or soaring snake plants, The Sill offers plants, pots, and grow lights to turn any corner of your home into a natural wonder.

Find plants that are easy to care for, safe for pets, or low-light tolerant. Or, buy by the bundle. The site collates plant pairs and trios—with coordinating planters—for every room or owner (like the Hardy Houseplant Duo, the Sunny Sill Trio, and the Jetsetter Duo—a twosome that needs infrequent care).

Horti

Avid indoor gardeners rarely stop at a single houseplant. At Horti, a plant subscription service, monthly, quarterly, or biannual plant deliveries help you start small and grow your green thumb as you grow your indoor green space.

In your first shipments, look for easy-care plants that let you develop key gardening skills, then wait for more exotic greens and florals that build on those practices. The company even offers a kid-focused subscription called My First Plant, which takes junior growers through the process, from planting and repotting to watering and propagation.

Via Citrus

If you dream of squeezing fresh orange juice or twisting lemons directly from your own indoor citrus tree, then opt for a fruiting plant from Via Citrus. The family-run company grows citrus trees on its Florida farm, shipping 9-month-old plants throughout the United States—even in winter (until temperatures drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit).

The selection of trees changes regularly but can include classics—like Meyer lemons and Key limes, perfect for homemade pies—alongside less-common fruits, like the hybrid orange-kumquat Calamondin and fragrant Yuzu.

Plant Addicts

With more than 160 types of houseplants ready to ship, Plant Addicts has a potted plant for any space. For bright indirect light, try a vibrant limelight dracaena or patterned calathea rattlesnake; for vaulted ceilings, opt for a ruby pink rubber tree or trailing Swiss cheese plant (both in the 11- to 15-feet-tall category); to freshen the air in your office or your teen's room, choose a string of pearls succulent or pink princess philodendron.

Costa Farms

Costa Farms grows houseplants and tropical plants throughout the southeast; with farms in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and the Dominican Republic, the company uses more than 5,200 acres of land to turn out 1,500 different types of plants.

If that makes you feel like it would be impossible to choose which one (or ones) to add to your collection, the site's quick plant quiz can help you narrow it down. No matter which you choose, the company will move the plant out of its greenhouse before shipping, so it can more easily adjust to life in your home.

Plants.com

Plants.com sources its plants from growers throughout the United States, so when you place an order, the company is able to have it shipped directly from the greenhouse (usually in two to four days, though you can also request a specific delivery date in advance if you're sending a gift).

Along with options to search for plants that are pet-friendly, air-purifying, or ideal for beginners. The company also lets shoppers filter their options for feng shui plants, like bonsai, peace lilies, and palms, and by zodiac sign (like an herb garden or devil's ivy for an Aries; a prayer plant or orchid for a Pisces; a string of pearls or hoya heart succulent for a Libra).

Rooted

Rooted co-founders Ryan Lee and Kay Kim started selling plants out of their Brooklyn apartment in 2018. After opening and closing three retail stores, they now offer individual houseplants—and a subscription service—out of their Central Florida greenhouse.

Choose bestsellers, like golden pothos, small white arrowhead, and blue star fern, or create your own bundle with up to eight different plants. Rooted also sells a variety of air plants, picture-perfect growers that don't require soil.

Easyplant

Gardeners with a reputation for over- or under-watering their houseplants can get a little extra help from Easyplant, which sells each of its plants in a pot with a hidden water reservoir that owners fill about once every month.

Small palm plants, anthuriums, and pothos complement larger philodendron, prayer plants, and money trees in pre-picked collections; you can also buy the plants individually. Care guides for each type of plant detail watering, sunlight, temperature, and troubleshooting tips, so when your plant outgrows its pot (about 18 months after you buy it) you can keep it healthy on your own.

Leaf and Clay

Leaf & Clay sells more than 300 varieties of plants, including a variety of fascinating succulents like split rock (Pleiospilos), moonglow (Crassula), and living stones (Lithops hookeri ).

The shop also offers a well-curated selection of houseplants with textured, patterned, and colorful leaves that add an artistic element to your indoor planting space. If you can't choose just one, opt for the monthly, three-month, or six-month subscription boxes for succulents or houseplants and receive a carefully chosen variety picked by the experts.

Etsy

Unlike larger plant-shipping sites, looking for houseplants on Etsy lets you search for small businesses, local nurseries, or specific, harder-to-find plants using your own parameters. Look for sellers that grow plants in their own greenhouse, that source unusual varieties, and that have well-reviewed shops to add a unique, natural accent to your space.

Léon and George

The vivid leaf colors, sculptural shapes, and verdant aesthetic of the houseplants from Léon and George aren't the only striking features of their products. The company presents its plants in heirloom quality ceramic pots and containers with minimalist, mid-century design.

Though the company ships across the United States and to Europe, customers in California receive an in-person delivery service that includes set-up and installation.

Lively Root

Houseplants from Lively Root are grown in the company's nursery in San Diego and are shipped in sustainable packaging, giving your greenery the greenest experience from start to finish.

If you're new to indoor growing, use the company's Jungle Calculator, which accounts for your room's use, size, and pet population, to create a starter pack of houseplants. Ficus, air plants, bromeliads, succulents, palms, and more come in your choice of container: grower pots that you can replace with your own pot upon delivery, eco pots, and pretty woven baskets.

The Bouqs Co.

Potted plants from The Bouqs Co. are gift-ready. Presented in stoneware decorated with fun faces; chic, solid-colored ceramic options; or containers decorated with color blocking, stripes, and patterns, the pots are as pretty as the plants themselves.

Intricate succulents, leafy ficus, draping marble pothos, and rosy calathea—among others—are bold organic accents to give (or get).
