In case you haven't noticed, houseplants are having a moment in the sun. From dedicated Instagram accounts like @iplanteven to an absolute explosion of both online and brick-and-mortar shops dedicated exclusively to houseplants, these lively botanic accents are popping up everywhere. Driven by an uptick in green thumbs among millennials, it seems we're all feeling inspired to fill our homes and apartments with succulents, cacti, vines, and all manner of greenery.
But before you rush to fill your digital cart with ZZ plants and fiddle leaf figs, it's important to know what kind of plants will thrive in your environment, and how much care you're able to offer. Here are a few things to consider before you click purchase:

Greenery NYC
Another specialty store we love, Greenery NYC is fairly new on the green scene. While they offer a range of plants just for New York City, they also ship plants around the US. What makes this online shop stand out to us is the mix-and-match capability—you can select a plant and then choose a unique planter to go with it that suits the aesthetic of your home. Plant prices start around $12, and they even offer same-day shipping if you live in NYC. - 04of 07

Horti
We wanted to highlight Horti because while you can purchase plants a la carte, its stand-out feature is actually a subscription service! You can choose between a variety of options for your plant deliveries, and Horti will ship you a new plant (or three) every month or every two months. This way you slowly build up your green thumb and your confidence in plant parenthood with each new arrival. - 07of 07
