Spruce up your space with these blooming buys.
Though houseplants have seemingly endless benefits—purifying the air, increasing your productivity, and beautifying an unoccupied corner are just a few—finding the right species for your space can be easier said than done. Ignoring key factors like level of natural sunlight, humidity, or maintenance will leave you with the biggest faux pas of them all: an area full of parched, decaying plants. And, even if you have found the right type of flora, locating it at your local nursery and lugging it home is equally difficult.
Thankfully, an abundance of online plant stores has made the process a lot easier. Not only do these destinations offer plenty of insight into what actually will work for your home, but they’ll also ship your selected species to your doorstep. To help your horticultural journey, we gathered some of the best online plant stores. It doesn’t matter if you’re a gardening rookie or have a well-established green thumb, you’re just a few clicks away from a beautiful and blooming abode.
