Rather sweetly, plants are also given names like Dora, Emma and Neva, just in case that Latin is too off-putting.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patchplants.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Shop now at Patch Plants<\/a><\/p><h4 id=\"h-root-houseplants\">Root Houseplants<\/h4><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape_thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"853\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/c02.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/01\/best_places_to_buy_plants_online_root-1-d114d71.jpg\" alt=\"Root\" class=\"wp-image-25553\"\/><\/figure><p>Root is a particularly eco-friendly online story. Its plants are delivered in recycled cardboard, and filled with packing peas that are made of starch, meaning they can go on your compost heap. It stocks a wide selection of house plants, our favourite of which is their pretty hanging plants. In a canny marketing move, stylish products like ceramic pots, scented candles and art prints are weaved here and there among the plants too.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.root-houseplants.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Shop now at Root Houseplants<\/a><\/p><h4 id=\"h-the-little-botanical\">The Little Botanical<\/h4><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape_thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3052\" height=\"2289\" src=\"https:\/\/c02.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2021\/01\/best_places_to_buy_plants_online_the_little_botanical-1-b9c435f.jpg\" alt=\"The Little Botanical\" class=\"wp-image-25556\"\/><\/figure><p>If you really want to search through a comprehensive house plant site, take a look at The Little Botanical.
