How to choose an online plant shop

Match the shop to the plant. Houseplant specialists for indoor plants; nurseries for trees and garden plants; specialists for bonsai, orchids, succulents and carnivorous plants.
Compare by pot size, not plant name: a 6 in pot is not the same plant as a 10 in pot.
Check shipping to your state. Some shops do not ship to Hawaii, Alaska or certain states with plant import rules (often California and Arizona). Confirm at checkout.
Read the guarantee and photograph the box as you open it.
Mind the season: winter cold and summer heat cause most losses. See plant delivery tips and policies compared.
Match cultivar names on rare aroids (for example Alocasia Polly vs Black Velvet vs Frydek). A “best value” badge is meaningless across different cultivars.

Online plant nurseries

These shops describe themselves as nurseries, greenhouses or growers. Most focus on trees, shrubs and garden plants; a few grow houseplants. Ratings are from independent review sites where we found them (21 October 2026).
