large indoor plants - where to buy in bulk?

Recommended Posts

We are looking to fill a room with lots of large indoor plants to give the appearance of a palm house. The room is very bright with large windows and gets very warm in summer so is almost like a conservatory.

We get our smaller ones from local tradespeople but can anyone suggest trade outlets or really good garden centres where we could get big ones, either online or in person? We are happy to to go out of London (eg Kent or Surrey) to look and order.

2nd for Covent Garden flower market at vauxhall. Bulk buying allows for savings. We have the indoor tropical look and achieved that over the years but I can also recommend the giant peace Lily?s from IKEA which are easy to care for, massive and cheap. Pearspring on Lordship are good for tips and advice and have some hidden bargains. We found a mix of plants on the floor, then in raised planted, then on the tables then some hanging from the ceiling gave the right effect without too much spend. Also plants in front of mirrors multiplies the effect.

Hi I would recommend the Nunhead Gardener https://thenunheadgardener.com/ They have a brilliant branch in Camberwell (just along from McDonald's) full of the sort of houseplants you are after.


There's also a very good garden centre at the back of Wandsworth Prison here: https://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/store-locations/neals-nurseries-garden-centre/

    • I have to wonder who's going to benefit from the Trump tarrifs  Possibly those in tje know who dumped their shares before it happened, banked the cash,  bought shares at rock bottom  and are now waiting for stock that crashed to go up again and make a fortune. But the bigger losers will be Americans who expect industry to move their factories to America, provide jobs and revive the economy, 20 years ago that could have happened but since then most factory jobs can now be done by robots  including warehouse movements, and if a tech company is going to build a new factory they will obviously use robotics and maybe AI to do the work, which means a gluten of goods and no one with the cash to buy them.  America will go into another depression and take the rest of the world with it. Forget the issues Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves combined have caused the economy, the trump tarrifs will make them look like saints by comparison.
    • Perhaps someone who works there owns a Tesla and is keen to promote more sales. After all poor Musk needs all the support he can get right now 😢
    • Well unless you have a different user name  you weren't actually commenting on this at all - i was responding to the posters who had concerns about the wooden planters falling apart.   Do carry on though...
