In case you haven't noticed, we're a bit obsessed with house-plants here at Refinery29. And these days, we don't need to hit up the nearest florist or nursery in order to curate our zen apartment gardens. On our never-ending quest to develop the proverbial green thumb, we hunted down the most excellent online shops that will ship a potted friend directly to our doorstep.
Adding a touch of nature is one of the easiest ways to cheer up any space — and we're also firm believers that a bit of shrubbery makes our cramped apartments appear much bigger and brighter than they actually are. (Plus, green is such a soothing color.) Click ahead to refresh your home with some help from the top plant emporiums: there's everything from succulents to money trees and ferns included.
We’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.
The Sill
We just can't get enough of The Sill's trendy aesthetic. The site offers an Instagram-worthy curation of succulents, ferns, and aloe vera, and the website is equally packed with leafy goodness. Another major feature we keep coming back for? Its wide selection of cute planters in a variety of colors.
Visit The Sill.
Bloomscape
Bloomscape delivers a wide array of green friends already-potted and ready to thrive (a.k.a. "living room ready"). The company's packaging is made from 100% recyclable materials and each plant comes complete with detailed care instructions for easy maintenance. And with a well-groomed leafy lineup — from red prayer-plants to hedgehog aloes, ferns, palms, fiddle leaf figs, and more — the trendy options are endless.
Visit Bloomscape.
Plants.com
This online nursery not only boasts a nearly endless assortment of the freshest plants sourced from top greenhouses across the country, but it also pairs each green-friend purchase with the proper tips, tools, and guidance on how to care for it.

The Bouqs Co.
This already blossoming destination for on-demand floral arrangements just debuted an entirely new and enviable plant section. The leafy green offerings range from gardenias to air plants and assortments of tiny succulents complete with trendy ceramic pots — a.k.a. the ideal apartment accessory or a sweet gift for a fabulous friend.

Etsy
You may not know this, but Etsy is home to an impressive assortment of plant sellers. Some of our favorites include this String of Pearls succulent from Thorn & Raised — and Cactus Limon, a 15-year-old shop operated by a husband-and-wife duo offering close to 300 types of succulents and cacti.
Visit Etsy.
Leaf & Clay
Leaf & Clay sells an assorted variety of succulents, cacti, and unique ceramic pots. You can easily purchase one-off plants for a gift, variety packs for starting your own garden, or the monthly subscription for the succulent obsessed — the "Plant Mail Club" offers a curated succulent 3-pack per month for $15.95.
Visit Leaf & Clay.
Lula's Garden
Turn to Lula's for simple, stylish, and eco-friendly succulent garden box online shopping. The plants range in price from $25 to $85, come complete with individual care kits, and nationwide shipping with same-day delivery in L.A. to boot.

Pigment
This plants-and-more shop looks like it fell out of a cool-California girl's dream — and we're here for it. Based in San Diego, each of the available goods (from macrame hangers to succulents, stationery, and even sweet treats) is organic, homegrown, and local. *Chef's kiss*
Visit Pigment.

Amazon
Not only does the mega-site boast a colorful offering of pots, planters, and tools, but it also sells an even more impressive array of live green goods to fill and tend to them with. From succulents to fiddle leaf figs and bonsai trees, Amazon's gardening section wins the online plant-shopping award for most ample, unique, and affordable finds.

Home Depot
The OG home improvement store that we may or may not associate with dads actually has one heck of an online houseplant section — the leafy green options range from chic fiddle-leaf figs to trendy aloe vera plants, yucca canes, and more that you can order up with all the goods to make them thrive.

Geo-Fleur
We've been eyeing this London-based indoor plant brand's collection of chic perennials — ranging from asparagus ferns to rare "Swiss cheese plants" — for some time now. Fortunately, we've found a workaround to get these plants stateside: The brand is stocked at Trouva, an online boutique that ships to the U.S. for $16.76.

White Flower Farms
Instead of hitting up a nursery to pick out your favorite shrubs, the nursery is coming to you. This family-run flower farm is based out of Connecticut and ships to the continental U.S. With over 65 years in business, the seller is a trust-worthy place to source the more delicate plant species. For promotional purposes, a rotating selection of plants even come with free shipping.
