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/

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
