Where to get a stunning houseplant?

[Quarks69]

Am so bored by the ficus and ferns and Cordylines in the garden centres. Does anyone knoW where to find a tall feature houseplant for a sunny lounge?

Am Trying to find something really different and unusual, and yes expensive, as a prezzy. Thanks

I use Patch Plants

I've just bought from patch plants too. It hasn't arrived yet, and the descriptions are almost unbearably twee but they have a really nice selection.

I bought 7 plants from Bakker.com they're brilliant.

Have a look on Facebook or Instagram for independent local house plant shops. I have two close to me that I spend way too much money in. It is a little bit of a growth industry last couple of years. You might have luck finding someone on Instagram - that's where my favourite plant shop mainly advertisers. Great plants, great service, personal, local businesses.

My local - by way of example;

Quite a few of my bigger plants are from ikea but we also have an amazing garden centre nearby with a fabulous houseplant section

Beards and Daisies www.beardsanddaisies.co.uk/ I’ve got some gorgeous and healthy plants from them.

I’ve used Bakker too.

hortology is good .... ive got some lovely ones from there. My favourite is Alocasia zebrina

Crocus is excellent for outdoor plants (had a couple of really good perennials from them) so it would be worth investigating all their houseplants, too. I think they had a Black Friday offer but not sure of the details.

I got a variegated snake plant from Bakker and when the sun shines on it the leaves look stunning.
