Why it's great: Rather than sitting in the back of a truck or warehouse for god-knows-how-long, when you order a plant from Bloomscape, you can be sure it is making no pitstops along the way. Also FWIW: This company is backed by Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. 🎵 Home is wherever I'm with houseplants (everyone now!) 🎵

thesill.com

Why it's great: This six-year-old operation with a pint-size brick-and-mortar location in Lower Manhattan offers outstanding customer service (on- and offline) and understands that not everyone's window sills are big enough to accommodate the standard planters on the market. Anyone on the prowl for a miniature ceramic planter that *will* fit should look no further than The Sill's abundant selection. All plants are accompanied by an easy-to-understand care manual. Sets make excellent gifts, too!

Teleflora

Why it's great: You can add mylar balloons, chocolates, or a stuffed animal to any plant order. Each purchase earns you "reward points" toward discounts and free bouquets. The biggest perk of using Teleflora, though, is that they ship internationally and offer same-day delivery on all plants!

Why it's great: You'll support independent artists, collectors, and gardeners. By cutting out the middleman and buying from the seller directly, you might even score a much better deal, too.

The shop's three cactus collectors Max Martin, Carlos Morera, and Jeff Kaplon challenge customers to think beyond just the ornamental value of each plant (i.e., how it'll look sitting on your bedside table). You might even find yourself thinking about plants in a new way after reading about some of these ancient creatures.

Plants we like: Thelocephala duripulpa for $46, Mammillaria blossfeldiana for $25, and Miqueliopuntia miquelii for $50.

Shipping: $7.46+ via priority mail.

10. Horti, a brand-new subscription service that sends hand-painted pots with pet-friendly plants right to your home.

heyhorti.com

Why it's great: Horti may be based in NYC but it isn't an NYC-exclusive subscription box company — it also offers three exciting monthly (and bimonthly) plans for plant lovers in other parts of the contiguous US. That includes a pet-friendly plan only containing plant species that have been cross-checked with the ASCPA's library of nontoxic plants. A hand-painted terra cotta pot or accessory comes with each shipment, and pots are shipped empty with a separate dehydrated soil pack to avoid additional shipping charges. You can skip deliveries or opt out of the program whenever you wish.

Plans to check out: Pet-Friendly for $35/month, Newbie for $35/every two months, and Hoarder for $35/month.

Shipping: Included in subscription cost.

11. Meta Flora, the status-y design studio that builds custom green arrangements filled with unique textures and shapes.

metafloranyc.com

Why it's great: This Chinatown, New York-based floral design studio has a host of hip clients including brunch hotspot Dimes, Creatures of the Wind, Nike, and Rachel Comey.

Plants we like: This arrangement currently on display at Dimes.

Private inquires only.

greenerynyc.com, greenerynyc.com, greenerynyc.com

Why it's great: All packing materials used by Greenery NYC are 100% degradable and post-consumer recycled. The company also demonstrates its commitment to the environment by participating in carbon offsetting (or, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) by regularly donating funds to global charities. Refunds are available within 30 days of purchase if you're unhappy with your plant. Office installations are available and — it's worth mentioning — are becoming quite the trend amongst millennial businesses.

Plants we like: Large Bird of Paradise for $390 (left; available for NY delivery only), Pilea Peperomioides in a ceramic cube planter for $89 (top right), and the Austral Fern in a Light+Ladder planter for $82 (bottom right).

urbanoutfitters.com, urbanoutfitters.com, urbanoutfitters.com

Why it's great: Urban Outfitters announced that it would be selling live plants on its website back in October of last year. Still, many are unaware that the megabrand offers greenery beyond its extensive faux-plant (and planter) catalogue. That means good news for you: The site is very well stocked and you shouldn't bump into many issues getting exactly what you came for.

Plants we like: Set of 12 succulents for $69 (left), Set of 12 air plants for $35 (top right), set of four hardy plants for $20 (bottom right).

14. West Elm, the home decor shop with a hidden selection of live succulents that you'll be able to confidently keep alive.

westelm.com

Why it's great: If you're already browsing the West Elm site for furniture, why not toss a trio of succulents into your cart? There are also several live plant options available for purchase through The Sill (featured in #1), if it makes more sense to consolidate your shopping experience.
