Indoor & Outdoor Plants

Why buy plants for your home or office

Plants offer several benefits, both practical and aesthetic. Here are some key advantages of having plants inside your home or office:

Air quality

Plants help improve air quality, and there is general agreement amongst scientists that plants improve the indoor environment. This is particularly important in an office, restaurant, or where many people are present in a small space.

Aesthetic appeal

Indoor and outdoor plants add a touch of nature and vibrancy to any space. They can enhance the décor and create a more inviting and pleasant atmosphere.

Improved mental health

Caring for plants can provide a sense of responsibility and accomplishment, positively impacting mental health and well-being.

Humidity regulation

Plants release moisture vapour, which can increase humidity levels in indoor spaces. This can be beneficial, especially in dry environments, as it can help alleviate respiratory issues, prevent dry skin, and reduce static electricity.

Shop the perfect indoor plants for your space

We believe greenery makes a home look more inviting, beautiful and cosy. From small indoor plants and succulents to large cacti plants, we have everything you could dream of to spruce up your home or workplace. Some of our plants come in pots that are hand-chosen by our team, but pretty terracotta or patterned pots can be purchased separately. We even have hanging baskets, and the more traditional indoor pot plants. Find the best quality plants for your home, office or flower garden.

We have a fantastic range of products online and an even bigger range in-store. If you drop into our shop in Brighton, you’ll be able to compare sizes and plant types, and our friendly team will also be able to give you a rundown of how to care for various plants. We can find something for everyone. Even if you’re notorious for killing plants, we can steer you in the right direction to a low-maintenance and easy-to-care-for plant.

How to choose the right plant for your indoor or outdoor space

How many of us have seen a pretty plant in a shop and thought how great that would look in my living room or hall, only to buy it without further research? Then, once the plant comes home, it dies in no time. This often happens when we buy a plant based on its appearance without considering the environment we’ve got to put it in and if we can adequately care for it.

First, look around your home and pick where you’d like an indoor plant. Then consider these points:

• Sunny or dark: Note whether the plant likes sunny or darker areas, well-ventilated or not. Some plants can survive with only a little sunshine, while others will wither and die within a few days.
• Temperature: Consider the temperature of your home. Spring and summer temperatures are perfect for most plants, but problems can arise in the colder months, especially when temperatures drop as night falls or fluctuate from central heating.
• Lifestyle: Think about how busy you are. Do you have time to water a plant daily, or are you at work for long periods or on holiday regularly? If you want a low-maintenance garden or home, consider these options when picking the type of plant you want, as some are more high-maintenance than others and will require more watering.
• Children: Consider where to place plants when toddlers are running around. You must also be aware that some plants are toxic to the skin and can cause irritation when handled and damaged, while others, such as cacti, could also hurt your child.
• Pets: Some plants are toxic to cats and dogs, so it is vital that you do your research before introducing them to your home if you have pets. Read our guide to plant toxicity and pets for more info.
• Do your research: Look into the ideal plant for your home, or ask one of our friendly staff members, and we’ll be able to match you with your ideal green companion.
• Top tip: Cacti and succulents are good choices for those who struggle with watering or have to spend time away from home. Cacti and succulent plants can survive without water for some time because their leaves are storage organs. They’re generally tough and resilient plants.
