Indoor Plants You Can Buy Online: Our Favorite Amazon Shop Live Plants
We are firm believers in incorporating plants into our designs in order to bring our clients’ spaces to life. They’re great to look at AND they improve indoor air quality! We love to frequent our local nurseries and markets to explore the latest greenery options. However, we recently discovered Amazon’s Live Plant Shop and we just had to tell you all about their collection of indoor plants!
The first plus is that Amazon delivers live indoor plants straight to your door. What could be better than that? Another great aspect of this online shop is that they offer a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and species for affordable prices. To see some of our favorites listed on the site, scroll down and even shop the links!
