Jun 29, 2023Turns Out, Amazon Is a Great Place to Buy Plants
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Nowadays, you can buy just about everything on Amazon—even plants. Though we love visiting our local nurseries, sometimes you just can't find the time to make the trek there or you may need a plant that's not currently in season in your area. If that's the case, the 'Zon has you covered.
Amazon is a surprisingly great place to buy plants and accessories. You may even recognize a few of the retailers, as they also sell at stores like Home Depot and Lowe's. So, you can get the same quality indoor plants as you'd find at the nursery delivered straight to your door, if you're willing to wait a couple of days. While not all Amazon plants are the best quality (i.e. they might arrived dreary or damaged), the ones below have stellar reviews and have been selected specifically by our editors.
If you haven't jumped on this trend, it's time to get an easy-to-grow Swiss cheese plant. This variety, Monstera adansonii, makes a handsome addition to any brightly-lit room.
