Best Place To Buy House Plants

You don't have to be a pro at buying cheap plants, provided you know some tricks. First, make sure the plant has been rooted before you purchase it. By doing this, you can avoid spending too much on plants that don't live up to your expectations. If the plant is not at a reasonable price, you might consider buying a second hand plant.

A great place to get a bargain plant is in the clearance section of your local gardening store. Often, they will sell dying plants for a penny each. A used coffee stirrer can be purchased and varnished if you don't want the effort of replanting a dying tree. Alternatively, you can pick up free shower caps from hotels and nurse the plant from there. It doesn't matter what method you choose, the most important thing is to ensure that the plant is well-ventilated, hydrated, and protected from plastic.

You can also check out the freecycle website where you can swap or sell items for nothing. This site offers a wealth of free stuff. You will be amazed at the generosity of people who are willing to share their unwanted plants. Search for "free tree in your neighborhood." You'll find free trees in many cities and states. Check out the internet to find what's nearby.


If you're looking for something a little more exotic, you can try out the online plant retailer Terrain. Terrain, an online retailer, is known for carrying a wide variety of rare and unusual plants. The site also stocks common house plants such as Philodendrons or succulents. Prices for plants range from $30 to $100.

Look at the lighting before you buy a cheap plant in a clearance section at your local store. The poor lighting source can burn the leaves, making the plant stretch to reach sunlight. The plant will eventually die. Another option is to save the plant from being thrown away. A succulent plant requires adequate sunlight. If the light isn't provided, it will become extremely long. A maranta plant will get brown tips and spots from overwatering.

Amazon has a lot of cheap plants. The Amazon plant prices vary widely, but you can usually get a cheap one for $2. UrbanStems has a better selection and a more expensive variety. Amazon and UrbanStems offer shipping free of charge and come with beautiful containers. These are definitely worth looking into if your budget allows.
