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’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
